Road Legal (NOT!) Single Seater...
This one takes stretching the truth to a whole new level!
Linky
Not 1961. Not Ford. Not Lotus. Not road legal. It's a Tiger HSS Era.
Hope no-one is daft enough to believe it's legit and spend £30k on it!

Why isn't it road legal? Some FF have been made road legal over the years. It is on ASKMID & has a valid MOT albeit as a Ford.

Cos it's not a 1961 Ford. It's a Tiger Era HSS that someone has stamped with a 1961 Ford chassis number and put a 1961 Ford registration
number on it!
It has no legal basis to be on the road.

You can have a daytime MOT on any vehicle.
It's actually not a different MOT, but a standard certificate that will come with an advisory stating that the vehicle should be used in day
light conditions only. The clinch I think is that if you have lights and they don't work, the vehicle fails. If they're missing, you get
the pass with advisory.
Still needs to have working brake lights though.
I would have thought cycle wings of some sort would be needed though

On that basis, I should have just registered my Lola Champ car on an old Furore reg plate - it would be a lot closer to legal than that is! I do hope
some poor schmuck isn't going to get mugged with that! 
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

It has a valid MOT, I understand what you say around the registration which is a different thing.

Apparently it's an orange Ford first registered in 1961, pretty clever really as that would need a time machine, I think the ERA was first made
around early 2000's, even the general type of car it's intended to mimic hadn't been invented till around 1963 - Colin Chapman
obviously must have copied this bloke!

The car is not registered properly, so any MOT on it would invalid... as would any insurance that was subsequently taken against it.

Seams like a lot of cash for a tiger HSS what do they normally go for? Also I would have assumed lighter than 460kg does anybody know what they
normally tip the scales at?
I was very tempted by the one that was for sale on hear for a while. and trying to get it road legal.

Fairly heavy i think
Nothing clever or modern in the construction, big & heavy Sierra uprights (look so out of place....) and zetec engine not bike, so wouldn't
be very light.
You need T45, bike engine, and little aluminium uprights to be pushing under 400kg really on most things.

I've dropped them a note...
....Pointing out the insanity of their advert.
I've seen their website before, thought they were fairly legit, and quite like the idea of a dealer selling kit cars in a nicely presented way,
a bit different to the norm, so i'm amazed they'd let themselves do this.
Grrrr.

No you don't!
Just proper materials understanding and good old fashioned proper engineering.
A fabricated steel upright can be lighter, stiffer and more cost effective.
T45 is the same weight as anything else in steel and no stiffer either.
And Suzuki engines are very light for their size and power output.
More than one way of building a bridge.
Cheers,
