I kept this one road registered. Didn't drive it on the road much, but it was handy being able to drive it when needed. This photo was taken as I unloaded it from the trailer on the side of the road on the way home from Morgan Park (about 2.5hrs from home) so I could tow a mate's 240Z with a blown diff, and he drove my 1200 home.



Main issue with road manners was the noise in the cabin. I used to wear earplugs before I got the car trailer and was driving it to and from events. It really wasn't any more harsh or uncomfortable in ide quality than any late model Jap import on coilovers. And the beauty of L series is even top effort race/rally engines are still very torquey and tractible. It had an overdrive box with 4.3 diff so was no problem on the highways. Some of the little A series racers with really low diffs and peaky engines would not be anywhere near as streetable.
