Convert To LHD

Post by Marzagao »

Hi Mini lovers

Would anyone know where i could convert (under 1000e) a 98Cooper RHD to LHD near Dublin?

Am planning to send it to Portugal where driving is on the "wrong" side of the road :)

Also, any tips of garages around Dublin area that are good servicing or diagnostic Minis would be great. Thanks!!

Pedro

Just today I finished driving from Dublin to Madrid, had contemplated changing the RHD to LHD before leaving but decided I would give the drive a try on the RHD, I just changed the headlamps to the correct side.

After driving all around France and down through Spain I didnt notice any problems with the steering being on the other side other than at toll booths. Overall I found the car to be small enough for it to be fine driving it as it is. In a larger car there might be blind spots but in the mini the viewing and sight lines were all fine.
