not got it on me but there is a company who advertises in the back of Autocar some weeks selling US cars and lot of them are RHD conversions.

Rotary powered Humvee? just got to work on the torque issue to move one of them!

cheers

Best to leave it as it is imho.  Changing it often compromises the driving of it and will put people off buying it on resale.

there are auto rx7s around for sale in the uk if you want one: I tried one the other day, although that was primarily to see if I would fit! (6\'1")

Conversion usually takes value off the car if it\'s a classic or modern classic, yeah, and if it isn\'t one, why have you got it?!

What you do at barriers is handbrake it in, get ticket, and j-turn out when the barrier goes up :D

it would be in my 10 car garage, I love the new models, the 69 to 73, and the old route 66 coupe and verts were to die for. They sorta lost there way mid seventies til recently.
