Right Hand Drive opinions????

I just want to get everyone's opinion. I am new to the speedster world amd have the opportunity to get a decent shape speedster for a great price. The only thing I am a little uncertain about is that it is a RIGHT HAND DRIVE car. I test drove the car and will admit that it will take some getting used to but I think i couls adjust. What does everyone else think??? Any thoughts? Also how hard would it be to convert to left hand drive in the future if I decided to? Any input would help. Thanks.

Justin,
I owned two RHD classic minis. I currently have a LHD, which I will be selling for no other reason than it is not RHD. It takes very little getting used to and always starts a conversation.

I am guessing you are in the US. I have not seen any RHD cars in the US, so it would be very unique. Swapping would be a problem as the fiberglass panel for the guages would have to be moved, which would require some bodywork.

Drive it, if nothing else, you can always sell it and get a LHD model. As long as you are not overpaying for the car, it will depreciate very little.

What manufacturer is it?

I'd keep it RHD! Theron's right, it would be one of very few in the states I would imagine. If it's not what you want then wait - they are always popping up on ebay. If you get in and don't like it maybe I'll trade ya, I'd love a RHD!

Justin: If you decided not to go with the car, could you give me the details? I live in New Zealand and am in the market for a RH drive car. Speedsters are rare as hen's teeth here. Cheers, John.

I am in thailand and here it is RHD. I have learned to adjust to being on the wrong side of the road and now it is automatic, even on a bike. The problem for me is using a RHD car on LHD roads or vice versa. Perhaps if you had never driven in a RHD country, but I get confused when I go back to Canada now, and every now and again turn into the wrong lane.

I am about to convert a CMC to RHD, and it should be easy as I am using rack and pinion steering so it is just the dash to mirror. Donor Beetle as the RHD wipers etc.

If that's the Maryland car, in Gambrills, I know that guy. Straight deal, good car. I looked it over yesterday.

Yeah I have already seen teh car. I lost the ebay auction in thelast couple minutes. Maybe I will give him a ring when I sell my other project. Thanks for the heads up.
