White looks sweet when done properly, shame it's not a 3dr

The reserve on that syncro is £3000 which is what they go for in Germany(best place to get them 3/5 door even estates). But don't think of converting a UK 2wd to 4wd it just is not worth it unless you have the considerable skill and equipment to do it yourself and even then it might not save you much. I wanted to convert my mk1 campaign to 4wd, but it would have cost me over five grand (as i have no skills whatsoever!!). Now i have got my hands on a UK mk2 syncro (+ 97 UK vr6), it will still cost me the price of a mk3 vr6 syncro once converted (+allot of ball ache :sad:)

You can get all engine models nearly in AWD in Europe.

Another syncro!... Forget the White, it's a shame it's a left hooker.

Lhd would not worry me.  :smiley:

Doesn't worry me either, used to have a left hooker mustang but visibility when over taking used to do my head in! Especially on B roads.

I had a lhd 3 series, was ok if you had a pass on board otherwise forget it.

And even then a lot of trust had to go on your passenger... "go on Shaun it's clear"....... "holy sh*t! No it wasn't"

:laugh: not worth the risk with passengers like that.  One trick was to hold back by quite a way, get a better look and a run up if you needed it, plus plenty of time to bail if you fail.  :grin:

LHD - Is it really worth it in the long run?
