Would be a simple job to convert to rhd, find one in a scrappy and get the bits, all the holes will be there for changing the dash and seats over

You must be simple if you think it would be that easy.

You must be simple if you think it would be that easy.

But maybe you should buy it and show us how it's done.

You'll need a WAV sooner or later anyway.

All you would require is the steering wrack, a rhd dash the clocks would swap over you may need the loom also, to change the ramp over just lift the floor as it bolts down and swap it over, the drivers seat will also change over all the holes will be there some of them may have blanking plates welded or just have rubber grommets in, dont forget they where made here and there will most definitely be some in the scrappy you can get the bits from
what a half baked moron you are Jimbo, sit and think before you put your half a brain in gear :roll:

I was speaking to someone yesterday and he ask if the council would allow a left hand drive tx to be plated.Does anyone know if he would be allowed or does anyone know of someone with a left hand drive taxi.I know some limos are left hand drive but i have never heard of a left hand drive taxi in this country :?:

Our first executive car was licensed as private hire. It was a left hand drive. Some authorities do not license left hand drive vehicles at all. Leicester city for instance but they also say that left hand drive vehicles do not need a license.

Total c rap MR T you should know better, why should the chassis need swapped the only 2 hard bits is the steering wrack, and you might just get away with just turning it from left to right then slotting the steering column back into it on the right hand side???? and the dash and wiring I had a LHD Ford taurus in Germany in the late 70s early 80s and that's all I did to make it RHD when I brought it over here, got everything I needed from a cortina
