COSTIN SPORTS ROADSTER

Registration No:Un-Reg

Chassis No:N/A

- Frank Costin's last project and developed in conjunction with Simon Garrett and Bill Barranco of IAD

- Three-cell steel spaceframe chassis stressed to withstand engine outputs of 300bhp-plus

- No drivetrain or interior fitted but numerous spares and intellectual property rights etc

This cheeky-looking road-going two-seater was designed and developed by Frank Costin, Simon Garrett and Bill Barranco of IAD and was Costin's last project before his death. It was due for launch in 1993, but a combination of his failing health and the yen/sterling crisis caused its cessation. Constructed to aircraft specification levels combined with the minimum weight, the three-cell steel spaceframe was thought to be a milestone design at the time and was stressed to withstand engine outputs of 300bhp-plus. Designed as a kit, the Roadster featured such off-the-shelf items as Vauxhall Chevette front stub axles and steering rack and Metro stub axles and De Dion tube at the rear. The lot includes: Complete body/chassis in Orange and Black; Complete body in Blue; 2 x spaceframes; Set of body moulds; Spare rear beams, windscreen, seat base etc; Headlight enclosures; Publicity material, paperwork and images; Emblem moulds and originals; Chassis plate blanks and Intellectual property rights for continued vehicle production.
