Not necessarily. We see beaten up Locosts go for that price range regularly. Car is ex-racing so I feel safe in assuming it is beaten up. Also check out seller and time stamps of his posts since 2009 - for a scam it is a very detailed profile for a single FB marketplace scam since you only get 1-2 scams in before you get booted by FB. You can also google the seller and match back to competition history. I can find photos of the car competing in OH. So it passes an initial sniff test to my mind. It is a shitty ad. No detail. Only 4 photos. One brief paragraph. Rubbish. Lots of questions remain on the item for sale. Price should be used as a guide to condition. Always ask to inspect in person - if it is never available then it is fake. Failure to do homework can mean you miss out on opportunities OR get scammed.

That would put hair on the chest! 400hp would put some serious chassis twist into the old girl too.

Thank you. Importer build of imported kit. Not factory build. Would have been done by the then importer on the west coast - I think he was California?

Yes its there - first Locost ad in the Repeat section https://www.facebook.com/share/D2qwVjcbErmXDcZg/ Ad description is a little better in the FB marketplace ad.

Luke is owned by Corbeau. I don't think Luke is sold in the USA. Corbeau USA does sell their own branded products here. They have a website and sell direct out of Utah.

Sorry we will not see you this year but enjoy Louisiana!

Keep in mind that your head/neck restraint might need you to remove the pads to work correctly, particularly as you have the wide belt harness. Not a problem for road obviously.

Caterham do not sell dated belts that comply with FIA/SFI. It stopped doing that quite a while ago.

As someone who has 12 webers to keep running I am shuddering violently right now... Sorry not much help on Mikunis - never had to work with them before.

Temporarily speechless......

You have to be careful what you google on this topic. I keep getting Hans - “international superstar, accordionist and home wrecker”

Interestingly, HANS claims they are the only frontal head restraint that works with a three point harnesses. Takes a bit of research to sort out the competing claims.

The process I went through was: 1) Read the different product literature to compare how and when each was effective, for example, head on impacts versus oblique or side impacts. 2) I printed out the installation instructions to see what worked or did not work with my various cars. HANS is quite specific on how it should be fitted with your harnesses. The Hybrid was more flexibile (for me anyway)with the range of different cars I drive. Many Caterhams have belt mounting holes that are unsuitable for HANS requiring new mount points to be created. More recent chassis do not seem to have this problem but you need to check your own car to confirm. No point buying a product and ignoring the harness mount points or width of harness. 3) I tried each on for comfort and range of movement of neck and simulating driving. 4) Confirmed my helmet posts would work on the product I preferred.

either works for belts or helmets so long as in date so I assume it’s fine for head/neck restraints.

Being on call 24/7 wears you down. Naps are strongly recommended.

Some photos I took on the day.
