milt Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 A combination of European homologation and insurance reasons, I cannot have a Uk registered Caterham R4/500 here in Germany, where I am currently resident (expat). I am now considering purchasing a little-used RHD R300 (race car), then shipping over to Germany for use while I am here. So, no lights etc, Tillets, or weather equipment, etc Has anyone any experience in converting R300 race car to road use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Presumably never road registered in the UK - won't that be a problem? Or are you intending to put it through the German IVA equivalent, assuming there is one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milt Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Plan is to trailer it to Germany, then convert it to road-going use in Germany, were it needs TUV approval before being registered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James.S Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 It is a right, royal pita. Cheaper and easier to buy and ex Academy car and spec it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milt Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 I've done the Academy in a Sigma, and sold the car a few years back as I wanted more power. Upgrading the Sigma at the time to 150, or even 200 PS looked very expensive relative. I was looking at R300, as I understand that R4 and above will not get TUV (German Registration) approval. I don't want to but local LHD, as I plan to return UK at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
