Would any native North Americans like to add any input? It seems very unlikely
to
me that Caterham do this. How do they get round the safety (and other) rules?
Carroll Shelby recently sold a number of Cobras in the same spec. as they
were originally sold in the USin the 1960's , but he sold them with the
disclaimer that
he couldn't guarantee that any state would register them for road use.
Caterham can hardly claim that they are selling classic cars when all
of the components are brand new.....
