engine looks nice..but what about the rest..?!
That's a race built March which was imported over from New Zealand by Ray Gimbert a few years back, was sold earlier in the year, (for much less than it's initial asking price I might add), and was recently on eBay but didn't sell. It was built from a factory shell as one of 3 cars built for a group of rich investors in Japan in the mid 90's.
It's not road legal, (has no handbrake, is mapped on race fuel and doesn't have a chassis number or log book), and although it's in very good condition it would need a fair bit of money sinking into it to bring it fully up to scratch.
A trailer queen basically and will only sell to an enthusiast looking for something purely for the track.
Similar spec to this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5PGAyRl0vk

That's called ringing and it's illegal.
You can simply apply to the DVLA for a chasis number and they will issue one but..... Getting it registered for the road is not just a matter of having a chassis number. It depends on whether they would accept it as a Nissan Micra and register it under the Micra's type approval or if they would consider it to be a one-off and require it to go through an IVA test. In either case you would have to prove where all the parts came from - this is quite strictly applied nowadays to prevent people from using stolen cars/parts.
