For pete's sake! Have it transported! You can be ~left~ with a "right hand
drive on the right side of the road." I am taking the liberty of sending a
copy of this message to a friend who has a TB... gorgeous right hand drive
automobile. He drives it around here (San Antonio) without any problems
except for the outrageous high degreed days of late. And he takes "Abbie"
to a lot of shows now that she's had a few tweaks. He's owned the car for
almost as long as you've owned yours.
Sell if you must, but.... if you really care for the car....
