I have 4 other photos of that car. I don't remember where I got them but can post them if anyone wants me to.

I'm not sure if you mean the Jag or the body on the Locost, but either way, I'd like to see them, please!

I'm pretty close to positive that I posted a link to a sales listing for that car in the Orange County, California Craig's List about 2 years ago. I'm getting real bad with time spans, so it could be from 2-4 years ago. Other than that, I have no knowledge of it.

Cheers,

In Arkansas I am not required to have a windshield. However, I'm still required to have windshield wipers.

<shrug> Few people have accused the legislature of common sense...

I brought up the Capulet a while back. It's just "box" verson of clamshell fenders, except much easier to make. Plus you get a flat area to sit down on to swing your legs into the cockpit, and to swing up onto to exit. And a sizeable amount of storage area in the fenders if you want.

I was seriously considering something similar, but my wife decided she wanted cycle fenders, and it's her car...

That definitely looks like Southern California landscape to me.

That's a good look. It makes the car a good deal more masculine. It'd be interesting to see how it effected the drag. I suspect not much.
