Locost
Haynes Roadster is a replica of a Lotus Seven home-built car, according to the book Build Your Own Sports Car: On a Budget by Chris Gibbs (ISBN 1-84425-391-0). A Ford Sierra is used in the car as a donor for drivetrain and suspension components.
The Haynes Roadster is a follow-up to the Locost design described in a book by Ron Champion. Locost uses a Ford Escort Mark II as a donor, but as these have become increasingly rare, a design based on the more affordable Ford Sierra has been proposed. In contrast to Locost, which used Escort's solid axle at the rear, Haynes Roadster has independent, double wishbone, front and rear suspension.
