i want to buy another toy to go along with my lotus. i have always liked and wanted the ariel atom but after joining the atom club forum, i met someone who owned one in MN and they said the couldn't get it registered because it doesn't have a Vehicle Safety Sticker. i don"t want to spend a lot of money on a car that i will only be able to use on the track or auto crossing. i want a car that i can drive legally on the streets too. So i have been looking around and really am interested in the Caterham R500 superlight. i have been looking on this site at some details.
Caterham Cars
So i was wondering if any of you can help with a few questions..
-I know it varies state to state on what is legal, but does anyone know if i can get this car registered and driving legally in Minnesota?
-They say the car comes without the transmission and motor, so if i get it, are there any places that i can get the motor put in? (i can put in myself if not, but i'd feel better if someone else did. i have only done R+R's on tranny's but not engines.)
If someone could help answer, that would be great.
Also, are any other MN caterham owners that could help with my questions?
I really would like this car as it does have lotus history.
