Great fun at the lights. Who did he bribe to get it past registration?
I wonder where the vehicle was located.
I know that in some states here in the U.S.A., the requirements for registration for street use are fairly minimal.
For example, IF there is a windshield, it has to be safety glass. That is IF there is a windshield.
Other standard requirements exist, such as an emergency brake, seat belts, headlights, tail lights, turn signals, emergency flashers.
All of those things are certainly present or at least possible on that McLaren (replica????).
A lot of the requirements relate to the "year" of manufacture (or, for replicas, the year that the replica replicates). For example, the dune buggy I made while I was in high school, made from a 1954 Mercury, would have been legal for street use if I had an "emergency" brake/parking brake. It was essentially a frame stripped of its body, with a piece of bent pipe holding up the steering column and brake/clutch/throttle pedals, shortened by 3 feet, onto which I had fitted tractor headlamps and some cheap tail lights bought at the local auto parts store. It neither had nor needed turn signals. The seat was mounted to stap metal welded between the two sides of the frame, there was NO floorboard, other than the parts of the frame that remained once I removed the body. I had made a roll bar of a piece of 2" black pipe (usually used for natural gas supply lines), but it wasn't braced in any manner. In retrospect, it was a true death trap, but we didn't know any better at that time.
I bet that McLaren is WAAAAY more safe than my old dune buggy :shy: . Thank goodness I survived it!!
