THECARREAPER Report post Posted January 10, 2009 hmm Georgia will not let you register these anymore, Hagerty does not insure kit cars like this anymore, banks dont finance stuff like this, so why in the hell would you buy one with cash? seems there are other real cars you could get for that kind of money. i have read the Prova cars are a well built chassis, not sure on Lamborghini to Prova comparison, i have only driven a 85 injected Countach, and its a unique experience. i just cant see the 930 trans axle and a v8 chebby replacing the v12 and quirky Italian running gear. the interior in the kit car is a real let down, the outside shots do look neat. i will stick with my v8 lambos , unloved Ferrari's and 911's.

IsleroMan Report post Posted January 11, 2009 hmm Georgia will not let you register these anymore, Hagerty does not insure kit cars like this anymore, banks dont finance stuff like this, so why in the hell would you buy one with cash? Since when does Hagerty not insure kits? Their website says they still insure "high quality" kits. While you can argue about the quality of kits vs real cars, the Provas are certainly some of the higher quality kits out there. Does GA just not allow any new kits to be registered, or all kits? I can't believe they would no longer let all the people that currently have kit cars registered to not renew them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe they would no longer let all the people that currently have kit cars registered to not renew them. my understanding from talking with the nice lady at the counter at the dmv in november is whatever is here and registered is ok, but nothing else can be brought in. i looked into getting an Ariel Atom, or one of the really nice Porsche 917 replicas that are being made by a business in Florida. Hagerty said they would not insure the 917 , and Georgia will not allow it to be registered, so i bought a euro 308 GTB QV instead. i thought a nice 917 clone with a 3.2 liter Carrera engine would be fun. i agree the Prova is a neat design, i just question if you have cash, why you would buy one , and not get something easier to drive, register, insure, for the same price range. i thought some cars, like the Ariel Atom that had vin's would be exempted and easy to register. bear in mind i have no emissions testing or inspections where i am at, and they still said no to several cars i asked about.

Here's a link concerning their efforts. http://www.porschesport.com/April%202007%20feature.html Their website recently went down, so I'm not sure about them still being around. http://www.kraftwerkz.net/ Race-Car-Replicas is now making a 917, along with their GT40's, Lola T70's, etc. http://www.race-car-replicas.com/ RCR's owner is active on the GT40 forum, http://www.gt40s.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
