minimallyviable

Thanks for that. Interesting. I've had Hagerty on my (currently owned) Elise along with a 67 Elan and a 73 BMW. None of those had any issues with insurance or titles so this issue is very new to me. I'm gathering more info from the current owners of the cars I'm looking at and as I get that I'll be able to ask better questions of the DMV. I hope I'm not hijacking a thread with my questions here. Maybe a thread on the forum for questions about insurance and titles would be appropriate. I'm willing to help with that if it goes forward. Thanks again for all the input.

Hi everyone. I’ve been in lurk mode looking for a 7 and have a couple of prospects. The issue is the title. As discussed above there may be no issue with not having a “clean” title. In New Mexico it seems that a kit built car (factory frame and other components) but assembled by someone other than the “factory” will have a “rebuilt” tootle, not “salvage”. If the car has a normal title from another state, the title status would follow. I’m tempted to pass on at least one of the prospects for one with a title that more accurately describes the car. I was wondering what thoughts you all might have Thanks!

Hi John Thanks very much. Yes it is an IRS car.

Hi, I'm negotiating the purchase of a 1992 Westfield. There is an Assigned ID number from the state it was originally built/registered in. There are also Data Plates indicating the model (92 WSE i-2952) and what appears to be a gross weight plate as well. Is there a Westfield ID or serial number stamped into the frame somewhere? If so, what general location could I find that in? Thank for any help on this,
