Kit cars come in all shapes and sizes, and it would seem that the vast majority of them make use of the Volkswagen Beetle chassis and mechanical components. That’s where the Lomax Lambda 3 is very different. Hiding under that rather interesting body is a Citroen 2CV that has been given a new lease on life. The seller has listed the vehicle on behalf of a friend and isn’t sure of the model year of either the body or the donor Citroen. If you fancy something a bit quirky, then you will find the Lomax located in Bloomfield, Connecticut, and listed for sale here on Facebook. This can be all yours for $15,000. A big thank you has to go out to Barn Finder Alan P for referring the vehicle to us.

The body of the Lomax is made entirely of fiberglass and is produced in the UK. This is usually bolted directly to an unmodified Citroen 2CV chassis, although the company does also offer its own steel ladder frame. It isn’t clear which you would find under this vehicle, but I guess that if the Citroen frame ever decided to rust away or suffered accident damage, it is reassuring to know that a replacement frame is readily available. The body and paint on this vehicle look to be in good condition, while the vehicle continues the quirky theme with the tiny individual windshields. Interestingly, the majority of examples of the Lomax are usually fitted with wire wheels, which are well within the character of the machine. However, this one rolls on the original Citroen wheels.

The interior of the Lambda 3 offers its occupants motoring at its most basic, I guess that this is appropriate when you consider the donor vehicle. All you get is a blank dash with space for some gauges, carpet on the floor, and a seat for each of the two occupants. Overall, the interior is fairly presentable, although I’m not that sure about the color of the upholstery on the seats. I would probably be investing in some new covers in a more appropriate color because on top of being an odd color, they are stretched as well. The rest of the interior presents well and has no obvious issues. There are no engine photos, but we know that the drivetrain is all Citroen 2CV, with its twin-cylinder air-cooled engine, and 4-speed manual transmission. Once again, because we don’t know the vintage of the engine, it isn’t clear what sort of power output we are talking about. One thing is for sure. This car weighs significantly less than the donor 2CV, so performance is significantly better. In the spirit of cars like the Morgan, this is a 3-wheeler. Apparently, this conversion is relatively easy, and only requires a few basic hand-tools…and a hacksaw! The company actually claims that the work can be completed in about an hour. The configuration with a single rear wheel is the most stable for a 3-wheeler, so it shouldn’t be a bad thing to drive.

Interesting? Yes. Eye-catching? Yes. Quirky? Undoubtedly. This is a kit car that isn’t suited to all tastes, but for the person who wants to stand out in a crowd, it would be perfect. In addition, maintenance should be very easy, and parts should not be a problem. I won’t be surprised if this one sells pretty quickly.
