I just saw a snatch landy drive past my house with no doors on, so I guess so. But you'd have to check.

Check out my pics in the gallery.
Any time it's sunny the doors come off!
I got stopped by plod last year for speeding (yes in the zook) and he didn't mention the lack of doors. I would advise sticking a mirror on the top of the door frame though.

Use a motorbikes 'cranked' arm type universal mirror, then mount it through your scuttle pan or make a bracket & fit it on your windscreen hinge

I used an old bike mirror, a bracket from the local hardware shop (had to drill the hole out a tad) and bolted it thusly. You get a lovely view of your elbow but it keeps plod happy!
