Road Legal, seriously?!

It would be brave man to take this onto a public road! Look at the thing, it's f**king amazing! Anyone want to take a guess at the possible cost - north of £1.5m maybe? Despite what the advert says, I doubt if it's as "totally user friendly" as they claim, especially on an icy or wet road.

Coys had this up at auction earlier in the year - clearly didn't sell, but I wonder what it was bid to?It would be brave man to take this onto a public road! Look at the thing, it's f**king amazing!

Spoke to Joe about this. The owner really did/does use it to commute into London every morning - all the way into Mayfair. VERY early morning.It would be brave man to take this onto a public road!

Based on your mention of Coys, found this link on their website which has some more information on the car:http://www.coys.co.uk/auction.php?itemID=785&a...
1 of only 12 made, and the only one that's road legal. That's a rare vehicle indeed.
Murcielago Boy: thanks for that info! Fair play to the guy, hope he had somewhere with plenty of space to park, because I'd hate to have to manouevre something so large but with limited visibility. One twitch on the loud pedal and you'd be through the nearest wall / bus / line of pedestrians etc!

Hero. That's exactly what I'd do.The pics on the Coys link certainly aren't in the UK - I'm not sure if it's UK registered.
There is another black MC12 which is in the UK - but it's not a Corsa.

Hero. That's exactly what I'd do.I assume it's this car, as spotted in Monaco: http://www.autogespot.com/nl/viewimages.php?id=521...

Now why did I instantly think of you as I was typing the above...!Shmee said:
I would be very confident that it has not been used on a regular basis for that purpose, there is no way a car like that would not have been spotted driving through London, at any time of day.
I've got to agree - something so unusual and (presumably) noisy would've been spotted on the daily grind!Shmee said:

I recently MOT'ed my Renault Megane, and in advance I had to replace my windscreen washer pump because the car would've failed on this. So my question is this, with reference to converted racers or track-only cars: when something like an MC12 Corse or McLaren F1 GTR is made 'road legal', do the same rules apply as to purpose-built road cars? In other words, when this Maserati eventually has to come up for MOT, presumably it'll have to have all headlights, sidelights, screenwashers etc present and correct in order to stay road legal?

To get it registered in the first place it will need to comply with all the normal regs, probably through the IVA route.So yes, all lights etc
