On some older Ferraris (308/512 etc) I cannot even drive a RHD properly because the pedal positioning and offset is so awkward. LHD no issue at all.
I can understand that for older cars but circa 2000 - I would say (and going from memory of the cars of that time that i've owned / driven) that this isnt an issue...Slickhillsy said:

Because that is what many dealers are telling us and some owners we have spoken to can't get bids on LHD cars (because they are LHD). Obviously price and the individual dealer are a factor.
In this era of rapidly rising prices I suspect most high-end cars are sold on consignment...whether they be RHD or LHD.Gassing Station | Ferrari Classics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
