Has anyone converted a lhd series 2 roadster to rhd? If so how difficult is it? Are the parts readily available? Any idea of cost of parts? Thanks>

If you just want a simple convertion, it's pretty easy, they were designed to be easily set up as either left or right hand drive. People like hudsons do entire kits i believe, not sure about the price.

It gets more complex if you want it as a perfect right hand drive as the brake and clutch resevoirs all need moving, the windscreen wiper motor needs to be rebuilt to make them wipe the other way etc. it's all possible to do, just a question of how bothered you are, i know plenty of people who have done it to the point you would never know apart from the serial number and those that have just done the minimum to get themselves on the road.

Just one thing, don't just turn the steering rack upside down or you go the opposite way to the direction you want to go!!!

The parts are readily available and several companies will be able to source them for you.
I have found Nick Goldthorp at Classic Motor Cars in Bridgnorth to be very helpful.
