It is fully road legal and comes with a V5 in my name, although ti is currently on SORN and needs an MOT. This is a very quick car and pulls from tickover to the set redline of 8250rpm. £14.995 ono - Brian James Four Wheel Trailer available at additional cost. https://racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/105779 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
