Try driving an unregistered 1950s racer on the Sussex roads after a Goodwood Revival Meeting and see what happens 
Surely it must happen, just a little bit, up to the Kennels maybe.

I hope that was real. Magnificent!
Could only be better if it was an Ital 1.7SLX in Zircon Blue.
Slightly different colour. up to the rear door... but that could be caused by the tree shade.

A bit of googling turns up another picture of the car complete with a rally plate taking part in a slalom. There's a picture (of another car) on the same site, where the plate can be seen better and it reads '1986 Stratos World Meeting' I think it's a road car, a very nice one.

They still exist - I think it's the same guy built these 3. The factory made a coupe, but it was scrapped, I guess he made the other 2 just because he could!

Saw this & great memories of finding an old abandoned car.
No SORN, so just left to be stripped until the scrappy came to collect it.
It’s very much a period thing No SORN, so just left to be stripped until the scrappy came to collect it.

as a kid in the late 70's we would often play on cratered WW2 bomb sites (plenty in London suburbs) often surrounded by corrugated iron (never stopped us) often with many dumped cars Hillmans,Austin's,Fords,Jags etc we often smashing the glass fuel pump domes and set fire to them inc oil bath air filters (yes yes I know 
) the tanks often empty but the lines full, was many moons ago Edited by Sardonicus on Friday 12th April 13:36

Amazing we all survived given how much kids are wrapped up in cotton wool these days in the guise of H&S.
