Hi Guys
Well I've missed out on the Rallye i was lokoing at. :cry:
However I have now found a RHD version. Is this worth buying? Conversion was professional done apparently.
Will it be as unique as a RHD... Easier or harder to sell on?
Any Advice welcome.
Thanks
Knobby....

Its just not right if its not left! It doesn't have the Charector! :sick:
Maybe harder to sell on.............................................
Anyway, driving one makes no difference at all really just the little stuff mentioned.

Allot of people say that it de-values them. But in my opinion i would much rather a RHD one any day of the week. And if i was looking i would buy a RHD conversion if i could find one. I once got the offer of a VR6 supercharged Rallye in imaculate condition with tons of work done to it. I so wish id got a loan for it now.

IMO, a Rallye's not a Rallye unless it's LHD, but that's just the way I see it.

I Know what you mean.. i am slightly put off.. But this rallye would be an everyday car for me.. Doing 25-30 miles a day along country lanes. I had convienced myself that LHD would be fine. To be honest i know wouldnt mind a LHD but a RHD would be easier for me.
Howver i would buy either i think.
I didnt know if there was any major problems with the conversion.
Cheers

personally i wouldn't buy a right hooker, just wouldn't feel right. if it's been done properly you wont have any problems with it, although i'd imagine there's a fair bit of custom stuff under the bonnet to make it all sit in rhd format, something to consider.. if you ever need replacement parts etc.

I'm in a real dilema of what to do. :undecided:
if i am using this car for everyday use a RHD car is gonna make life so much easier, just a Rallye really should be LHD, its the whole unique appeal. Insurance should hopefully be cheaper as a RHD.
Decisions..... :sad:
