I dont know who it is but there is a guy that lives in Terre Haute Indiana that recently bought a BR Green one. I remember reading it in the news letter to the Briitish Auto Owners association.


The reason why there arent many here is because they do not meet US Requirements. You have to get specile permission from everyone favorite uncle to own one. The US will allow a certain select of low production cars to be exported under what is called the "right to show lisence. It takes alot of redtape and paperwork to get the permission. They only allow a few exotic cars JagXj220 is one and I believe you have to do the same thing to get a McClaren F1 over here. For 250 G's it is more trouble than it is worth when you can buy several domestic supercars that look like Mclarens for arround 150,000. Like the Ulima Gtr and the Mosler which both are powered by suped up LS-1's. And then theres the Salleen.
