Silverstone Mexico | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Hello All! I am interested in possibly commissioning a Speedster build from Silverstone Mexico. I would like to connect with others with experience with this builder and registering the cars in the United States specifically Florida. My apologies if this topic has already been covered and I did try a search, but my search skills are admittedly lacking in forums. Thanks in advance! -Tom in Florida

I'm not sure I could justify the risk of doing this. You're not going to save much money at the end of the day. The market has softened a bit, you can likely find a slightly used VS or VMC car which meets your spec by shopping around.

save urself alot of grief. Find one already built that has been "sorted" and the bugs fixed..locally to U is better.

I have heard nothing but negatives regarding Silverstone.....You would be better off ordering and waiting for a new one or, purchase a low mile VS, VMS, Beck or IM.

Also; registering in Florida is easy as compared to other jurisdictions; they seem to be more lenient.

Check this car out; it is killer:
