The only situation where LHD is in any way different from RHD is getting a ticket at a multistorey carpark or going through a drive-in - both of which can be happily avoided. There are plenty of situatons where an LHD car is actually much better - merging from a slip road, for instance. I sort of think that, like people who can only drive automatics, if you can't drive an LHD car then you probably shouldn't have a licence to begin with.

I drive an LHD car 4 or 5 times a week and I've never found any kind of problem with the configuration. I find it really odd that it bothers people. I have a friend who's a car enthusiast and on a trip to Germany years ago, he refused to drive the rented car because it was LHD. Perplexing - it's not difficult. The majority of the world's motorists manage to drive LHD cars exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a good price for a car with ticket til March and no mention of grot on recent tests. Who cares about the cosmetic problems?

At most that's £1500 tops. The replacement key alone will run you to about £400 if you can find a dealer to programme a replacement (you'll need it) on the plus side, it's a shed spec one, so there's less on it to go horribly wrong.

cort16 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I thought maybe they're old 911 seats given it's a VEEDUB and all . There are similiar 911 one but I can't find any quite the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 This Nova I posted before is now £1500. The doors look like they've got a bit of pudding in them but given it's not totally rotten it looks decen.t It's even MOT'd until March and has a period upgrade of a 1.6 carb engine wanged in it. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/570462894139946 GMcD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
