Buying, Using and Selling a LHD Ferrari/Lambo in the UK
Discussion
I am looking on mobile.de a lot at the moment and without going into the detail the option of a LHD car is increasingly attractive.
I am talking myself into it but I would use it on open country roads and normally when there are few cars to overtake, occasional euro trip (maybe more as it will be LHD).
I have driven an F50 a fair bit and the LHD wasn't too big a deal on Scotlands country roads.
My questions are from people who have done it or are doing it for feedback and pointers. My concerns are resale mainly and how to mitigate getting stuck with the car potentially?

Interesting!
For example> RHD Yellow low mile Scuderia at Ferrari Edinburgh £179k with 7.5k miles.
Versus> LHD Yellow Scuderia on mobile.de http://home.mobile.de/AUTOMOBILEHOFFMANN#des_89599... with less miles (8,200 km) for £117k.
Im not saying its apples for apples but you can see the attraction and the choice is high hence the price I guess.

How do we know that?
I spoke to 2 dealers before getting new lights, they both said 16m (and so I assume Scud) is not adjustable and needs new lights. But maybe Jack is also correct.
As for instrument cluster, on my 16m there was no digital inset readout, only the analogue speedo dial which was not dual calibrated. A sticker isn't appropriate for ths sort of car, and you would want the digital odometer to read in miles not kms, ergo new dashpod
Id want the odo to stay in km to tally with the history of the car.I spoke to 2 dealers before getting new lights, they both said 16m (and so I assume Scud) is not adjustable and needs new lights. But maybe Jack is also correct.
