want to be a coupe driver

[ThevanV]

Hi Guys,

I am Walter, living in The Netherlands, with a extensive car history. Did my first engine overhaul at 16, on my dads car, smae car got a respray when 17...

After seeing and hearing the FFR Daytona a dutch technical guy did with a TVR V8 engine in it (He specializes in Chip Tuning mainly Italian cars, did my 159 Alfa TI also) I was again triggered bij the Daytona.
Been racing Alfa`s since the 90`s I like the setup of these cars and may want to try it on track also.

So I am reading here to get better informed.

Main problem I encounter is registration in Holland. I would like to start with a kit, part of the fun, but it will get a new registration. In the USA you get a 1965 year of build on the registrations, how do you do that?

Best for me would be a chassis with allready a registration with it, or a complete car (last option, not only for the money involved).
regards, Walter

Welcome to the forum! Title registration and licensing requirements including the year on the title for new builds varies widely from state to state in the USA. Some allow a 1965 title, but many, like the state I live in (Michigan) require an assembled vehicle to be titled in the year it was completed. So there is no single or easy answer.

OK Thanks!

Hi Walter,

Have you contacted FFR yet? Try that to see if they know of a customer in your country or a vendor who sells completed cars in your area. Also, you can give Gadden a PM. He is building a coupe in Europe. I've forgotten his exact location. He has been on this forum and is a friend. He is very knowledgeable about the registration process, at least in his area. BTW: from what I have learned from him the process is much more stringent in Europe than here in the states (e.g. inspections to verify the build quality). I think you would be better off to get a completed car as far as simplification of the process. It's smart to do your homework before getting to deep into it. Good luck,

WEK.
