The M.G. Locost
Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
October 18th-20th
A built-from-scratch replica of a 1963 Lotus Seven roadster, based on the popular book 'Build Your Own Sports Car' by British engineer Ron Champion. The frame. body, suspension, exhaust, and interior were all made by hand, while the drivetrain and brakes were salvaged from a 1972 MGB convertible. We started the build in August of 2011 and completed it in February of 2014. Since then, the street-legal car has accumulated over 65,000 miles on the road.
