no way that would pass any sort of nct or mot. Its not road legal.

Its so gypo its amusing.

Yet to see a conversion of a lancia/bmw m3 etc from lhd to rhd thats any good!

Who remember that red car that was on top gear must have been 1991/1992 which switched sides, both sides had drive by wire pedals, the steering column pivoted in the middle of the dash and there was a dodgy spectrum like hud. Tahst was pretty cool.

It's meant for use as a delivery vehicle so you can jump straight out onto the pavement rather than onto the road

As an ex Lancia head, and a great fan of the Grale i know its well known that RHD conversions to Grales kill their drivability. One of the best things about the Grales steering is its short rack, so the lock to lock is short too, RHD conversions increase to lock to lock and therfor make it less responsive and chuckable.

Dont do it!

You'll devalue it and kill some of the driving pleasure.

Got any pics of her? What model is it exactly?
