Exactly. A poor man's Ariel Atom!

Good, complete FV's can be had for 6-8k. I've seen some rollers for 2-3k. I'll be interested to learn more about insuring & registering something like this.

I know I've seen sand rails registered for road use in the good 'ole USA; surely they're not running a vw VIN. Same with 550 & Cobra replicas.
