RHD Conversions

[GoodOlBoy]

Anyone had experience of a rhd converted Corvette ?

From what I've read some were converted from new by companies in Aussie/NZ.

Is there anything to worry about with a converted car ?

There's a rhd C5 for sale at the moment which is interesting.

As far as I can ascertain, converting new Corvettes to rhd was a legal requirement in Australia (and NZ?) in order to have them registered.

There seem to be a fair few in existence and one or two companies that specialised in the conversions, which had to be independently inspected on completion before the car could be registered.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to buy just yet, but no harm in doing some research. Thanks for all the advice so far.

As far as I can gather, Corvettes converted by professional companies in Aussie shouldn't be too much of a risk.

As always there will be exceptions.

Yes, the one I saw for sale is a yellow one.

I'm almost certain that Claremont Corvette had a rhd Corvette for sale two or three years back, may even have been the same car.

That's the one.

Looks like it's still ok fifteen years later
