No it isn't legal, you must be displaying a valid (yellow, reflective) rear license plate at all times. What you could do (assuming your suspension's in top shape) is take the plate off and strap it to the sofa, so it's still displayed. You must also have break lights displayed, but I think they're beyond the tailgate so should be ok.
Good one TCubed - would just add that the exhaust might back up into the car so have your blowers on to the face and/or windows/sunroof open so you don't suffocate. And tie the top tailgate down to stop it flapping up and down. Good luck
With a small chainsaw you could also have a comfy seven seater!

Mine only beep after you pull away. In town is a pain as it beepa at every res light and give way but once you are on the open road it will shut up.
if you have flicked the 3 catches to the lock postion you wont get any bleeps as it thinks both tailgates are closed and you wont get the message center saying tailgate open

got a bit of fumes, i can live with that,
luv the smell of petrol in the morning!!!!!!!
Open your rear windows and have the fan on, then the circulation at the back of the car should keep any fumes away from you.
