The only two places that I know of in the US are Sun International and the
Wallace Lab (unaffiliated with Nick Parks and the claymation Grommit
people). The former have legalized Renault R5 Turbos, Ford Cosworths, Lotus
Elise, and are working on the Renault Spider now. The latter seem to offer a
lab for a fee kind of a thing.
I am sure that there are others (Bill Gates or Jerry Seinfeld had possibly
hired someone for their Porsche 959s...)

it is not floored)
