It's always interesting to see how a car has to be changed to meet a different country's laws

Check the side markers. I always thought that was a dumb law, but so are catalytic converters.

I have seen a few converted S197's here in the UK, it costs around $12000 for the job to be done. When I took a close look (at a Saleen no less) it was pretty good but the IUP had been re-painted which kind of spoilt it. You have to question the integrity of the conversion as well. What steering rack is used? Will all the safety equipment operate
properly?

Me? I shall stick to LHD, it is so much cooler!!

Agreed, no clue why you would do the conversion because LHD is very drivable in the UK. Plus, if you go to mainland Europe you will fit in! (Except that you are driving a Mustang)

I think the turn signal stays on the outside too- that would be weird as heck to try and drive...I'm righthanded, can imagine that 2-3 shift would be really ugly for me [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
and bet first time I went to a corner that I turn the wipers on [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
Ive talked to a bunch of guys from australia on another forum- you know in australia you cant change tire sizes from factory offerings? cant change springs/such either...any non standard mods(even bigger brakes) require 'engineers certificate' $$$ or they can impound the car...thank God our goofy/corrupt government aint that bad that they limit our hobby. And with that caroilis effect or whatever, the water spins the other way when they flush the toilets in southern hemisphere...everything seems reversed [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
