RHD to LHD conversation on a 3000S / M

[henryk]

Does anyone know if it is possible to convert a 3000S to lefthand drive. Are there major problems to solve ?
If the bulkhead is similar right to left it appears to be not such a task - or am I wrong ?
I appreciate any hint very much

cheers

I have owned both left-hand drive and right-hand drive TVRs, and have driven them both on the "wrong" side of the road when travelling around Europe. What you are suggesting with converting a 3000S sounds to me like a bit of a nightmare, surely it is legal to have a right-hand drive car in Austria ? If so save yourself a lot of money and if you already have (or plan to buy) a right-hand drive car keep it that way, if you use the car only occasionally / as a weekend drive, you won't really find it a problem overtaking etc.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I think you are right. It would be much work for occasionally use. and the car is then not original any more.
I thought about this matter because I have driven LHD and RHD cars,but only in their countries, I never was on the wrong side and dont feel familiar with this - but I think its better , yes
thanks again

hi, driving a wedge i cannot say much about the 3000, but....

i´m living in germany and i would never think about converting my british RHD to an LHD.

the main reason is that i bought a BRITISH car and not an Alfa-Romeo!!!

other reasons are: occasional use, RHD much better for trackdays, and there is no relation between the conversion (time, money) and the result you get.

They sold more cars to the US than to the UK. Why not source a US (LHD) spec car, as a less technical option?
