No.... I havent left the village bike hanging on the street corner again

For those people who have imported from the Continent, has anyone converted from left hand drive to right drive? What was involved, and how much does the new dash/ work cost?

Depending on when I move back to the UK, the Turbo version might be on sale here in North America - at a way way cheaper price. Might be a way for me to go?

Any thoughts?

If you do buy a LHD car, it is probably going to be a pain to convert it. Just keep it LHD. It is not really that bad driving a LHD on the left side of the road. It only is a problem when overtaking, but it doesn't hinder you as much as you would think.

Coyldn`t agree more Wreckleford.

A waste of money getting it converted and you risk a bothched job too.

After owning 2 LHD integrale evo`s I`m quite happy on the left and plan to save££ by getting left hookers in the future.

Ferrari 355`s LHD are stating to come in at just under 50K, very tempting indeed if you`re feeling flush! Massive savings can be had, but insurance tends to get a little loaded, but nothing severe.

It is not the bother you`d imagine at all, the only real difficulty is when stuck behind a lorry on an A rd when you can`t `see through it'.

In town it can be an advantage.
