my understanding was that as long as it had MOT TAX insurance front and rear indicators working front and rear lights rear fog light then its fine for the road it looks good to go to me! i wouldnt have it stopped on my motorway

thanks i half thought that was the case my stepson is looking at poss buying it and i wanted to double make sure

if it has been built for rallying, then it has to be road legal, even WRC have to atain a road legal level, and the uk registered need an MOT as far as im aware

thanks mate that will please him if he does get ile get some more piccys up and ile suppose ile have to take it round the block to make sure its ok:drive::ok:

i drove an old gemini mid engine rwd mk3 back in the 90's, only a stg 2 cross flow fitted, but it was fun...

will keep you posted with out come

:agreed:

Pretty much :nod:

Depends on exactly what its been built for. Most rallying requires cars to be road legal for all the liaison sections between stages. But a lot of people use the term 'rallying' to describe other motorsports. Wouldn't necessarily need to be road legal if it was built for stuff like sprints or hillclimbs i think.

Thats defo road legal, but I be amazed to see the insurance quote on this after all the mod's it has had

good news mate its 200% road legal pnc'd it and a few other police checks for you and its good to go!!!

thanks matey sent him a few emails waiting on reply watch this space

Just a silly question why does it still have bonnet vents, surely not required now as engine is mid mounted, I would have thought they would have put on standard bonnet so the space could be used for something else.. mmmm shopping lol

hmmm i was thinking that!! or a peep hole for dogging hahahaha
