I'd love it. I was interested in buying it, however it doesnt come with any engineering so that could make it impossible to register or ever get on the road, which in turn would make it useless to me really.

But I love it. I have always wanted a shorty. I didnt mind that shorty convertible thing that was on ebay not long ago, but the story he was spinning about it being locked up in a panel beater and maybe he would get all the parts or maybe he wouldnt etc etc etc made me think otherwise.

There was a shorty moke up the road at a tyre place a few years back that was for sale but sold before i even had a chance to look at it....

*shrugs*

Call me a clown, call me an idiot.... I like em.

Each to their own I suppose. I guess it shows there may be a small market for shorty's... if you'll pardon the pun.

Engineering or not...Would be possible to get something like this registered?
It would have to be very unstable.

I agree.
However a car with such a short wheelbase would have a large amount of built-in instability.
That's why I'd be surprised if it was allowed to be registered these days.
But it could be allowed.......
