I see these things in various odd types of racing. I reckon a road going one would be thoroughly FTW This one isn't perhaps the most beautiful looking example, but you get the idea... eBay listing

Glad i'm not the only one whose had these thoughts. The very first time I saw a 'legend' I thought about having one as a road going toy.

The Legends are brilliant and far better looking usually than the one on eBay but I believe this may come at some additional price.

Didn't sell at £2.5k. Who'd have thought...

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

I'd thought of starting with a Bedford Rascal pick up and putting the legend body on. Move seat to rear of course. This would avoid registration issues as it would be rebody.

They would be great, but for me a bike-engined Anglia or similar small British car would be even better. As much fun as a single-seater race car would be on the street, I think that a small hot-rod designed for the street would be a lot nicer to live with.

depends what you want it for. For commuting, for going to the shops, for longer runs... or just back road blasting?
