Yes, but you'd have no mirrors which would be an MOT failure. You'd have no side impact protection which would be dangerous.

i thought you could drive without wing mirrors just as long as you had one rearward facing mirror, ie: rearview mirror?

Get proper wing mirrors to solve that, and place them where they used to be.

Road Legal Buggies have no doors.

Some kit cars don't have doors It's wierd knowing you could put your hand out and touch the floor when you're doing 85mph too, so tempting despite knowing it'd end in tears
