This is the two Simtek S951 cars complete with engines and spares. The website says POA, but it's listed in this months Motorsport magazine at £200K!

Somewhat distressingly, I realized I'd rather have my SEAT Ibiza 1.4 (60 hp!) back than one of those.

They were beautiful cars!
I remembering watching them at a BOSS race last year. Seeing them again brings back great memories of watching Jos Verstappen overtaking Gerhard Berger in the Argentinian Grand Prix in 1995. Ah, those were the days...

How hard would it be to get one of those street legal?

Imagine trying to take a two-camel wheeled carriage through an MOT. About twice as hard.

That's the nearest production road car to an F1 car I guess... The main issue seems to be that the wheels have to be enclosed for the road. Then there's all the lights...

Weak. Maybe I'll do it all in super-clear plastic, so that everyone can still think it's an F1 car.
