Ian Nexus Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Where there any LHD Ledburys' made? are they difficult to convert back to LHD? one of those on Mississippi plates has to be a winnar!According to Wikipedia "In 1997, Parkway Services of Ledbury, Herefordshire, purchased a batch of 621 Maestro cars and vans in CKD kit form. These had been stored at Cowley, Oxfordshire, since their production in mid-1996, when they became surplus to requirements. The company built up the cars and converted the majority of them to RHD form using up Rover's supply of parts."I suppose I could try Bulgaria....

Someone on the Maestro forums had one (N207ENE?) I think... Was LHD and practically "Out of the box" condition wise. That was bought about 6 years ago with delivery miles on the clock... I know of this and one other on a 1989 Registration which was actually first registered in the 2000's... So, there's a few about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Few LEDBURY cars were LHD, and most IIRC were registered as G***LWP. Apple 2000 of Suffolk imported some of the unregistered fully built cars from Varna, and these were LHD. This is what N207 was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Just seen another of the brethren on anti-social media. Looks like your old one is back on the road, too. vulgalour, Burnside and Datsuncog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Because the Great Fire at Photobucket there's no pics of Steve in here, so here's some using the forum uploader. Checking on the MoT history, it appears someone has been getting a fair bit of use out of it and cares enough to fix it when it does break, so that's nice to know. Astonishing lack of rust advisories too. mrbenn, aldo135, LightBulbFun and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraWomble Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I love the "on stilts" stance of these Ledbury cars. Dick Longbridge and Datsuncog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
