Aries locoblade (aka Stewart Taylor)

[twcullen]

Hi Guys, went up to Donnington last weekend. Rubbish show but was very taken by the idea of building a Locoblade. Didnt have time on the day to chat to the bloke on the stand (Girlfriend had had enough by this stage!) but have since emailed the chap. He reckons about 6.5k + vat will buy me most parts from him including a blade engine, with me supplying uprights, wheels, diff etc.

Does this seem like a good deal?
I prefer the look of this Locoblade to others but should I look elsewhere also?
Is this car any easy one to get through an SVA
Can I reduce this price significantly by sourcing most of my own parts?

Sorry for all the questions but I have been out of the kit car scene since I sold my faithful S1 dutton 10 years ago.

My Locoblade would mainly be used for track days and the odd hill climb, but I would like it road legal as there is nothing better than a sunday morning blast to get rid of the hangover!

Any thoughts much appriciated.
