Conversions from LH to RH involve a lot of work and if not done correctly and with a high degree of workmanship can be problematic ie has the wiring loom extension been extended or new (min new loom), steering column and mountings, rack etc etc.

Plus the history has failed credentials, if you buy cheap then you have to realise you need to sell cheap. I personally dont consider it a bargain.

Yes, one of many often unexpected/-intended potential consequences of a public acquisition/transaction which can easily come back to haunt later and stigmatize a specific item/vehicle.
Countless examples exists, including many in which an offering gets or has been publicly vilified by same peanut gallery that might’ve applauded the previous exchange of same exact item.

 

Very interesting thread that I have only just caught up with . I had a bad attack of dino-itis earlier this year and almost succumbed to buying one in the UK , pre the Covid lockdown . I ended up buying the Dino compendium book instead so am a bit less ignorant than I was when the buying fever had me in its grasp .

Right now I am poorer than I was , thanks to write down of assets , and wondering if ( or when ) prices will fall . If supply and demand works then more cars coming to market might work in my favour .

Meantime will have to drive old Porsches.....
