Locust is a Lotus 7 inspired kit car. It differs from most other sevenesque cars in that it doesn't use a space frame chassis, but a ladder frame and a body constructed from plywood or MDF skinned with aluminium.
The original design was by John Cowperthwaite and it sold as the JC Locust by J.C. Auto Patterns. Later the production rights was taken over by T&J Sportscars who also introduced a Ford Cortina based version called the Hornet. It was then taken over by White Rose Vehicles (WRV) who developed the Locust into Locust ES and also introduced the Ford Sierra based Locust SIII. In April 2000 the Locust ES was taken over by BWE Sportcars who also makes the Hornet and the Grasshopper (electric car for kids) and the Sierra based Series III was taken over by Road Tech Engineering.[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Locust (car) ]
