Steering wheel on other side. Hence the price.
I had a MGF VVC rhd on lhd streets..With a british car it is ok. but who wants a american car (german) w UK steering? not my cuppa..

Hmm... Jump on it. Take away that spoiler, change alloys and paint it baby blue and you have a cool car!

I literally have no idea what you're talking about. A LHD car in Britain would make overtaking almost impossible, which is surely the point of having ~330 bhp..?

For me the steering wheel is on the other side. I have driven a LHD in britain and a RHD car in Sweden. Overtaking is not impossible just hell of a lot more risky. For me to buy a RHD non BRITISH HERITAGE RACING etc car and bring it to Sweden makes no sense. Even though it is 1/3 of the price.

To overtake or not to be overtaken, that is the question. 450 bhp is more like it.

guys for about 13/14 years I was driving left hookers over here in the UK ann I didn't have any problems with day-to-day driving or overtaking - the only thing was toll-booths and car-parks My next car will be another left-hooker, love 'em

I don't get it. Who's asking you to? This whole thread has gone a bit Twilight Zone - maybe all this sun's fried my brain...

As for the overtaking thing, well I'll take your words for it. I'm a bit of a coward overtaking anyway - my heart races at the best of times let alone having to stick a metre of car out into potential oncoming traffic to check if it truly is clear. Still, if a car's only ever available in LHD I can see the temptation (I'd have an Alfa SZ in a heartbeat if I could ever afford one).

Obviously a McLaren F1 negates this conversation.

And cheap it is, most cars are cheap in the UK compared to let say Scandinavian pricing :P

Maybe i see this forum to much belonging to the yanks. Thus writing all comments on that car. That it is cheap, so what, we cannot use it etc. Anyways, I thought you brits were not so easily disturbed. Sorry if I upset anyone. Ill stay out of the uk section from now onwards. Cheers.

Btw, what was that comment on the mclaren f1? If it is about that that car is expensive? Well try buying it in Norway. It will cost 2/3 more over there. But I shall not feed the wolfs any longer.
