I remember the car in Vancouver, WA back in 2012. Saw it for sale and went to look at it. Owner had just sold it but new owner was yet to pay and pick it up. Sadly I missed out on it. Bought a 1979 Lotus Esprit S2 "JPS" instead but still want a Caterham JPE to join it in the garage.All I'm going to say is that the car was white (see avatar) and I enjoyed my trip to California...

Huh. Small world. I've traced down the ownership lineage of the car in order to battle the title issue.
The WA owner left CA with it and then sold it to another CA guy who knew of the car. The WA owner is really the only one who used it and tracked it. I have some track/garage pictures from his ownership and correspondence. I think he is the one who titled as "R500" during his sale and that title stuck to next owner. The car has not legally been re-registered or seen the road since original owner in 2002 until I bought it in 2018. I had the original title in hand and it still had original 2001 tires. Had a pretty interesting life from all I gathered. 17 years of ownership from 3 owners and never really driven.

So that's what happened to it, thought it looked familiar in your avatar! Glad it went to a good home.

The car I was referring to was a 2012 model with less than 1000 miles. It was listed on grassroots Motorsports site. It was a fantastic car. Wish I would’ve bought it.

Do you have any information or history of the car I might not have from that owner? I find it curious that he never registered it and just tracked it occasionally over the ~10 years.

Wow, that Superformance stings. I made a different commitment just a couple of days ago. The S1 is so close, it could easily be in my garage and plated before my actual purchase is loaded in a carrier.
What a problem to have though, right?
