There were some unusual true kit cars in the 50's and 60's like the Bocar, Laudari, Encidia, (I'm sure I'm killing the spelling) Lister, ect....
I'd have no problem running that car up and down the road a bit.
Check out this link for a car that does not look to impressive in pictures, but I saw it in person and was very impressed with the car. It sold for more than I was willing to bid.
