These pics appeared on a non-7 related FB car forum that I'm a member of. 14th St. NE in the District of Columbia. Looks like there may have been a bit of a mishap. Anyone know the story?

Yellow SV with a black centre stripe (GN08) and green with yellow nosecone grille (S3? - FJ05). Spotted by the Kingston Upon Thames correspondent for the Arlington Classic Car Club whilst on holiday in Scotland

By my cousin in the parking lot of his apartment.

Spotted on our way home from the pizza joint / bar (Ken's NY Deli).

Olivier has been in touch with me and, hopefully, we will soon have another Caterham in the Arlington Classic Car Club

Great - I've sent you a message via this site with my FaceBook and email details.

Sure, Anker. I'm just about to post something up on ChitChat in case there is any more interest out there. The Arlington Classic Car Club is actually just an in-joke name for a bunch of guys in and around the Arlington area who get together from time to time to go for a drive or to kick tyres. Our communication is primarily via a private FaceBook page, but I can keep you abreast of any plans via email if FB is off the cards for you.

Anker - this one is in Arlington Heights in MA. It is currently on UK plates, but in the photo above the owner was just off to a garage to try to get it through a State inspection. He should be ok getting it titled as it is over 25-years old.

A better spot. We now know that the driver / owner is named Olivier. The guy who spoke to him yesterday ascertained that the owner is not American, but we are yet to get any more details. Plans to press gang him into membership of the Arlington Classic Car Club (A group dedicated to going for a beer on Thursday nights in old cars...we have French cars....but no structure!!) continue.

I was travelling down the M5 near Weston-super-Mare at about 11.00am on Sunday 29th Dec as you passed on the opposite side, northbound.

I haven't had reason to go out to Minneapolis for some time, but if that changes I'll be sue to give you a shout. Likewise, if you are ever visiting Boston, let me know. One of my friends spent a fair bit of time earlier this year in the Brit Pub with the Aston Villa Supporters Club, who were following a presason tour in the area. This is a great resource for finding 7's for sale in the US. Mike scours a number of sites and updates this thread on a regular basis.

This thread was brought to my attention by a friend. Not owning a 7 these days I only really look at ChitChat - you may get a better response for this particular topic posting over there as the likes of Mike, Tom and other USA 7 owners maybe don't venture out to the marketplace part of the site too often.

Hi Kester I live in MA. I looked into importing a 7, but got put off by all of the hurdles that you have to jump. Have you looked into buying a 7 that is already in the country? Your best source of information is usa7s.net and Mike J., who posts as Croc on here. Your options would be much wider if you were happy taking a "sevenesque" car rather than specifically a Caterham. There are plenty of Birkins, Westies and the like up for sale. Theoretically, if my understanding is correct, you should be able to take a car that has been titled in another state and get it titled in MN more easily than going through the import process yourself. I know of people who have titled both older cars (25yr +) as well as modern Caterham's in different States. There are different approaches that you can take. If you go down the classic / reproduction route then I think you are limited to 3k miles and cannot use it as a daily driver. Not sure if that limitation exists if you are using a more modern 7. Do you use the Brit's pub in Minneapolis? I always pop in there when I am in town. Every time to date it has been the middle of winter so I didn't get to experience the bowling green.
