Hi,
Does anyone know of any 'proper' right hand drive conversions specialists for the C06 /Z06 ?
Can be based in the US or UK

Cheers

I've only ever seen one RHD C5 and the quality was abysmal. In my view, they devalue the car and make selling it on much harder. I don't know who did the conversion but there is a company who converts Mustangs and F150's with the same lamentable result. Not sure where though.

Don't bother If you cany't drive left hand drive Just buy a RHD Monaro or a TVR conversion's on RHD are S***. I have never seen a good one yet!! You will just make it so hard to sell on again.

Personally,
Unless you use a lot of public (NCP) car parks, or eat at the drive through ALL the time, I don't see the need for a RHD.
The ONLY other benefit that I can see is that visibility is better if you are overtaking on country roads. And you'd have to be doing that a HELL of a lot to justify converting the car to RHD.

Or, Am I missing a reason?

Ah, right.
It's illegal in places like New Zealand isn't it. ... forgot about that. Damn shame if you ask me.

Here's a couple of RHD in New Zealand www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=68618601&key=217341

Tempting but high price compared to UK, divide NZ$ by 3 for approx GB£ value.
