Hi everyone.
I'm an Englishman now living in the deep depths of the frozen state they call Minnesnowta!
I'm not a cobra owner, but I am a kit car owner and was looking for some advice from other car building brethren.
I'm building what an Altra, which is now a defunct arm of Palatov Motorsports.
http://www.palatov.com. The car has more than a passing resemblance to an Ariel Atom
I have a certificate of origin as well as a reasonable file of receipts for parts that have gone into the build.
I'm not looking for collectors plates, just the right to be allowed to get a vin (at the moment it has a kit vin on the frame) and insurance to drive it.
The car is all now ready. I've read some different stuff on here about registering a car in MN and have read the local DMV requirements.
Any hints or tips as to how I should do this? I've read on here that I can get temporary plates so I can drive the car to the inspection. Is that still true? How long do the temporary plates last for?
Thanks for any advice
This is my car (sorry - no cobra content)
