Cool.

I remember seeing the flattened Imp in a mag years back . . .

[FUBAR]

The thing that made me laugh was the size of the steering wheel!!! its tiny!! LOL

[Roadkill]

Rattled like a MoFo', too.

[Pod]

That is pretty cool.
I'd have thought a go-kart would be much much lower though.

go-kart

But would that be road-legal, though ? - Or technically a "car" ?

[Pod]

I'm surprised the flatmobile is road-legal with no roll bar for your head.

[FUBAR]

Me too TBH, not sure what he's done for a seatbelt either...

That's what I was thinking...

Nothing says you need a roll bar, infact the lotus sevens didnt have a rollbar wen they were built. Also just like a gokart the lower to the floor the lower you CG and less chance of rolling over

Still cool tho

It was based on an Imp - it probably wasn't fitted with one from the factory.



EDIT

built from a 1963 Hillman Imp

There you go - I think '66 was the cut-off.
