it wont be road legal if theer is no heater for a start, law requires it to me able to self de-mist the screen. also the steering wheel wouldnt conform to uk law as it is not a complete circle. doesnt seem to have seat belts either. mirrors dont look big enough to meet the minimum surface area of 100cm2 and it has no numberplates fitted
but. it is a show car and they do not claim it to be anything but that.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

I actually enjoyed looking at this car during the 2005 show season.
I've never heard of "having to de-mist the windscreen to be legal" Got a few mates with completely stripped trackcars which are legal for the road and they don't run heaters. And the mirrors are perfectly legal.
I would of thought its worth Breaking for that price.

You need a heater for SVA but you would escape this as the car is already registered.
