Not to burst your bubble, but for the forseeable future, Caterham will not be selling anything in the States, owing to a lapse in product liabilty insurance coverage.

I was looking to buy a rolling shell from them when I got the news, about two months ago.

The Superlight factory built is around $30k without engine or tranny.
