LHD actually will make it more valuable......on continent usually classics are more costly...so if you sold it back there...worth 10-20% more...........LHD never bothered me much classics....or LHD Porsches!!!

I agree it makes it ideal for resale back to Europe, but I wouldn't want it to keep, LHD is real pain in car parks and at toll roads/bridges. It also pushes insurance up as its not made for our roads as you are on the wrong side of the car when trying to overtake anything, including stationary objects.

......well......driving a LHD Porsche was dangerous......it just added a bit more danger....;)....;)...plus wasn't using it much in urban areas so no probs with tolls/carparking etc......

For limited mileage classics....same probs don't really apply..........

Actually made no difference for insurance purposes...........plus a LHD Italian classic is more pure than a RHD...pedals/dash as they were designed for 95% of sales.
