demoray Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 I've lusted after a Seven for nearly 25 years. From the first time I saw Norm Beaver's rip around the WDCR autocross then seeing a dozen of them parked in a row in Cheltenham a few weeks later. The CSR260 that was being sold through Time Machine Motorsports is now mine! With the exception of a short blip around the neighborhood (I had to turn it around to put it in the garage, had to be done, I swear!), it will have to wait until Monday for the insurance to land and then my next steps are to deal with Maryland red tape. So. In. Love. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FE07 Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 My suggestion for dealing with MD red tape is to talk to some of your car guy friends and find an inspector who is "car friendly". I registered mine about 9 yrs ago but all my inspector wanted to know was the min. thickness of the front brake rotors. I did take it one place first where I thought they would happily inspect it and they gave me MULTIPLE BS reasons why they couldn't inspect it.

demoray Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 Most of my friends are not car guys. If you have a recommendation as to where to go, I'd love advice. I'm in Millersville but I'll gladly drive across the state to have a no-bs inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBuff Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 @demoray well bought. I would hope you can make it to njmp next year for the annual meet up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FE07 Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Demoray, I did my inspection quite a while ago and unfortunately I’m not sure if the gas station I used still does inspections. I would tell you to stay away from a larger franchise type of place like NTB, Merchants etc…. I don’t know anywhere to send you down in Millersville. I looked online. Try- https://97automotive.com. Just looks like somewhere that may work. Call them first and ask if they have any problem inspecting a Caterham. Hope it helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastg Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Is it already titled? I did mine about 7 years ago. Just used my local auto repair shop. It was very simple, he also did my trailer. Dakis Service Center, Kings Contrivance MD Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demoray Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 I have the title in hand. The previous owner has titled in Montana as a 2013 Caterham R400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastg Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 If you want to go that route, let me know and I will talk to Matt the owner. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 @demoray From one CSR 260 owner to a another - you are in for one hell of a time! Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 I live in Virginia, but I got my car from a Guy in Maryland.You want to register the car as a replica. It is a replica of a 1962 Lotus. That is the way my car was titled. The advantage is the same as having a classic or 25 year old car. The disadvantage is a 5000 mile per year limit on mileage.
