    I don't know of a LHD car (For Sale) at the moment but they are out there in Europe.

    Good Luck.

    Like hen's teeth, Andy, believe me. There is a 260 here in Holland for 29,000 euro asking price (ho,ho,ho). Germany is better but, you're right, they are much more expensive than the UK. Still very, very difficult to find. Thought the LHD shell was different (bulkhead/tunnel area) and couldn't be converted from a RHD without major surgery? Don't know, just what I heard.

    Here is a few photos of the near completed conversion to LHD. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8f95pwdo8...TndvWawoa?dl=0 Drives great this was before a few interior bits were sorted. This is Vin 699 that had an engine issue but that was solved and the conversion was done to LHD.

    Brave man to try that! Done a Lotus Elan and an E-type before but both had clearly been designed to be as universal as possible and the major bits apart from pedal-boxes, steering-rack and so on, just plugged in. From what I've seen from my LHD R75V8, MGR did it a bit different.

    Indeed a very brave move. My concern is what it looks like underneath?

    I have a friend who bought a Corvette that had been converted in Australia from LHD to RHD, truly scary to see what they had done. I wont say it was bad but if it had ever crashed I doubt the occupants would have survived. The steering column was held up with what looked like Meccano and the wiring had been extended with what looked like house hold cable.

    If that last conversion is anything to go by then I suspect it is fantastic. He has a LWB 75 in Dark Fantasy I've seen that and it was an amazing job

    Not seen any for £3k, lowest was £4,5 a year ago and they are appropriating now so im guessing a well used one for around £5k.

    Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.
