I wish!

This looks like a lot of possibly dangerous period style racing fun.

You old soak! :D

I love that car though, it reminds me of 50's racing when there was every chance the car wouldn't make it around the next bend without coming apart...

I wonder what would freight cost?

Haha , it does have that old racing look where the videos of them driving round the track look sped up , and the driver would get get out with a huge grin " surrounded by dirt " taking in that old ahhhh british monotone voice over , like tallyho old chums were of to the races lol.

Wouldn't be that hard nor hugely expensive to build one.
Plenty of freedom to build it as you want.
Just as much fun to build one as it would be to drive it.
