Thanks for all the replies. Guess my main question still is (although a moot point if can't take relatively current car and import)..... can you convert a RHD car to LHD and what is involved?? Jim A.

43 Caterhams for sale currently on pistonheads in UK, all RHD. Seem to be good prices. What, maybe 2 cars for sale here? Has anyone ever imported one from UK to US and changed it to LHD? Hard to do? Whats involved? Expensive parts needed? Yeh I know you can drive RHD car here but not looking to do that after 35 yrs of driving. Gotta screw up your sight lines in a car with significant enough vision challenges already. So, has anyone here imported one? What was involved with shipping/customs etc? Thanks ahead for the replies, Jim A

Bruce, Thanks for all the info on wet vs. dry sump differences. Any idea of approximate difference in price between Duratec/Zetec with wet sump/accusump set up vs. same engine with dry sump? I know for me since the car would replace a race car and definitely be tracked, I'd probably want the dry sump set up. Pretty impressive however that the accusump protected the engine so well for 25 hrs! While I'm asking, approx. difference between one of the above engines dry sumped and the 2.3 Cosworth? Thanks to everybody for all the info, Jim A.

Wow, I'll second this entire post. Have been racing a Formula Enterprise with SCCA for past 3 seasons (had a Formula Vee prior) but feel I'm spending too much $ for the track time I'm getting. Considering just going to track days and would like a CSR also without the Cosworth if possible. I like the cleaned up aero of the front pushrods and 200 HP should be more than adequate. Won't give me the same lap times as my FE but definitely more tracktime with less $. Not quite the thrill of single seater racing though. Still thinking about it. Thanks for asking the question before I did. Jim

I believe it was $60-65K. There basically bespoke cars. His is BRG/tan leather. No stripes or fancy paint. Jim

Have been a lurker and meaning to register but reading this post caused me to sign up. Had the opportunity to drive one of the new Morgan 3 wheelers about 6 weeks ago. A friend bought one and asked if I'd like to drive it. Very well made and put together. Piece of art but as much a toy as a Caterham is, the Morgan is more so. Can't imagine driving one (or riding in it) for more than a 1/2 hr. Felt relatively stable although did not have the chance to push it at all. Very small and tight on the inside. Made my elise feel like a limo. Only drove it for a couple miles. Lets put it this way, when I saw they were first coming out I thought it would be really cool to have one. After driving it for a couple miles, I knew I could cross it off my list. Jim
