Two engines....street legal or not?
We've just finished most of the fabrication on 2 on going projects;
Cossy engined Cinqucento
Twin engined mini on NOS.
Now it has become apparent that the mini will be illegal to drive on the roads, now thinking about it, the europarts twin engined renault, dubsports golf, and the EDS twin engined Nova are ALL trailored to events.
Does anyone know for sure?

EDS nova is road legal, its taxed etc
I think its just illegal to use the second engine whilst on the road.
would without any doubt at all need an SVA though obviously!
the fiat sound fun, got any pics?

I knew it was built abroad, there's not enough talent over here to squeeze that much HP out of LET's 
The cinq. has the engine in the back, running greys' & T34
.
The mini may be quicker though.....
2xC20XEV with twin 45's (190bhp each) and NOS on top 150bhp progressive kit.

The twin XE mini sounds good, hope they are the early ones though if you are putting that much nitrous into them, as the later cadburys pistons probably wont hack it!
