==Ron Champion's Locost== The Locost pattern originated in the mid 90s, and then with the publishing by [[Haynes Manual]]s of the book ''Build your own sports car for as little as Β£250'' by Ron Champion ({{ISBN|1-85960-636-9}}). This design was based heavily on the original [[Lotus Seven]]. It also used a live axle rear suspension. The De Dion tube setup was used in factory racers and some of the models offered by Caterham.{{Citation needed|date=February 2009}} Both [[Colin Chapman]] and Ron Champion have a background in the [[750 Motor Club]] and the design of the Locost is based on a Lotus Race Car designed and built by Colin Chapman in 1963. The front of the Locost is of course "inspired by" the Lotus 7.
