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.
