I did Mike - post 1895 above.

Re-read the ad and yes you are right. Titled and registered as a road car.

Plenty of questions about that one myself. The car was originally put together in Canada by David Savill Peck who had a production run of these Caterham kits. I saw a sister car and thought it was well executed and put together. So that creates a question - how did they get it from Canada into the US legally? Jackson Miss is a loooong way south. Does not meet the 25 year rule. I guess they must have shipped the car in separate pieces - the chassis roller and the engine/trans? Probably kit import paperwork that will need reviewing. Not sure if that loads a problem for the future. One to think about. I recall the Hayabusa having around 180hp in some guises but this is advertized at 256hp which is impressive. A lighter drive train than a regular car based drive train would make it even more impressive. Weight is 1100 pounds compared with a Duratec SV version at 1250-1300 pounds. Brilliant for track work. May be too peaky for the road? Bike engined cars are more fragile by nature as the engine is more highly strung, the transmission is off the bike and is now lugging around a heavier load than a normal bike frame. Mechnaical sympathy and a well considered refresh cycle will probably mean you never have any issues. I know people with Radicals with the same drive train and they have strict refresh cycles. No issues if that is kept to. Ad is very honest and upfront about this. Not all bike engined cars have reverse since the transmission does not have it. This says it has a reversing box - I would want to understand this. The rear end ratio is the highest I have seen in a Caterham - gearing/speeds/ratios would be interesting to understand. The ad says condition is "needs work" but does not say what. Clearly this has an impact on value. Its been for sale for an awfully long time - have to wonder why? A 2007 SV with SVT zetec or early Duratec would be around 29-34k area depending on condition. Needs work SVs drop into the high 20s. A premium for this may be justified given performance potential? No discussion on titling or registration - I infer it is solely a track car. I wonder if it was imported as a track car? 5 year re-export requirement on those. The ad does not really address the usual concern points - this is a car you have to see before you seriously consider any purchase.

I can never find them on the East Coast. I always call Roger Krause and have them delivered east. They have them in stock consistently.

No - you can book when you arrive. You may want to camp in the trailer parking area since this is midway between the two circuits and a very short walk to the clubhouse where there are showers, pool, bar, etc.

For those who need it, there is secure overnight storage available in my garage at NJMP. I think our best ever storage record is 12 sevens for one night along with my Mustang.

Whoa! That is very pretty. The color suits the shape beautifully. That must have been tough though - having to sell all the toys to fund the purchase. Not sure I could have let some of mine go to do the same thing.

The owner is a loose cannon if that helps?

Lets be realistic - its I-95. Its not a great drive and the potholes are fearsome this year - I doubt they will all be fixed in time. At least one trailer mother hen amongst a few drivers gives you some backup if BlackHole decides to take another nap in the center lane.

People forget that Birkin's biggest export market is Japan. Caterham is pretty big in Japan after Europe - certainly sell more than in the USA. There are 2 sites in Engrish: http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/ and https://www.tradecarview.com/ Follow the instructions. Fly and inspect if needed. RoRo for cheap shipping. Offload in Vancouver. Very popular with a bunch of dealers who have worked out the profit potential. Inquiries can be emailed in English - clearly you have to since the ads are somewhat lacking key data.

Ron - Great video. Perfect Sunday drive. But you scared the deer away!

Welcome Bryan! :seeya:

Wow...great progress so quickly. You are keen to get out on the roads soon. :cooldude:

Hi Bruce, I have driven the 270 on the street and had the 310 on the track. Difference between 270 and 310 is about 10hp if you round up. The 270 is a great little backroads car. Plenty of hp for that purpose. Think of it as a crossflow (125-135hp) or basic zetec (140hp) type of performance level. The Sigma sounds pretty good too. I could not tell the difference between the 270, 310 or my maroon zetec in relative hp - all felt the same. I liked the Sigma engine over the base Zetec though - seems to rev happier and sounds better. I dont have any video of the 270 on track but I had a 310R at Donington, Silverstone and Brands Hatch last year. It was boring at Silverstone - too wide and too many straights. Loved it at a tighter circuit like Brands and was very well suited at Donington. Donginton video below. Silverstone below - seems vmax there was 111mph. Ignore the moving map on that video - had me 150 feet ahead of my true location. Speed is accurate. You would never see 122mph in real life - thats a theoretical max. All Caterham published top speeds are based on redline and standard gearing and diff. Using a big open track like Silverstone (or Spa-Francorchamps or NJMP) as a base then real life relative circuit max using GPS speed (not dash board speedo speed) would be roughly: 270 108mph 310 111mph Base Zetec 113mph R300 118mph 420R 121mph CSR 130mph Caterham speedos read roughly 10% higher than GPS speed at the high end. Obviously the bigger the hp then the quicker you approach vmax. If you need more power then Premier Power in the UK offer upgrade kits for the Caterham Sigma. cheers mike
