Hi guys. My friends and I want to build and maybe modify a caterham kit car. We ran into difficulty when we searched how to obtain a kit, as these kits are sold only in the UK. Could anybody advise us on how to ship a kit car over to the US from England at minimum price (time isnt an issue)? Or alternatively recommend a similar build/rebuild project? Our budget is about 15k.  
  
  
  
 Thank you

They are definately availible in the states. I’ve seen a few in the local car shows. There’s also a place in Richmond VA, that puts them together. It’s called The Sportscar Workshop I think. I admire your choice in cars. The Se7en looks like it would be a blast to drive
