Anyone here with experience with a Cartham?
I drove one at Buttonwillow on the highway (trusting soul gave me the keys hehehe)...now I'm renting one for a NASA event for the 12th and 13th to see how it is on the track.
But this could be something...street registerable, legal for E-production in SCCA, easy to build, financeable and appears it would fit in the garage.
And its pretty darn fast...was literally like a kart.
Meaning, it could get to a track under its own power or be easily trailered (1300lbs) with a U-haul for racing.

they are
but they have to be sold as kits. They get in under the same clause that allows things like the factory five cobras, etc...
that's why they're all delivered without the engine or transmission...<ul><li><a href="http://www.uscaterham.com/home.html">http://www.uscaterham.com/home.html</a</li></ul>

Um, you can get a registration for kits cars, but....
It is a non-trivial process. There is the legal way and then the not so legal way.
To do it legally, you end up going through a long and complicated process. In PA it takes about a year. Then again, it takes most people at least a year to put their car together.
The not so legal way involves registering and titling the car in Alabama, I believe, and then transferring the registration to your current state.
One thing is that you absolutely want historic plates so you do not need to do an inspection, etc. Lets face it, these cars really aren't that safe on the street, but they are a hoot on the track.
