Has anyone here gone abroad to buy a car and driven it back to the UK??

[SteveCat]

Eyup!

As title tenuously suggests,have you ever gone overseas to pick up your car,for whatever reason????

I know Nige has,with the much sexy 323 4WD.

I have a plan to do the same when Lime really does die for real.She would then be garaged,and left with a low mile V6,and stored due to the rarity.

Anyway,mine would be to drive a Lancia back through the Stelvio Pass from Italy.
Model would be a Kappa Coupe or Sedan,or a 1998 Delta HF HPE.

No wet dreams please,especially from you MSH

Thanks for notice I have only one question - why do u want LHD car?

[poopcoupe]

Grooms, not pissing on your fireworks me old mate, but with the exchange rates as they are, they are really bloody expensive. Nice cars but really pricey

Have a look on here

No, he mentioned lancia, but lancia didn't made any rhd vehicles between 1994 and 2006...

I prefer LHD,especially if its a manual,as I prefer to change gear with my right hand.
With the integrale I had previously,I became used to hanging back from the car in front and moving away from the kerb a fair bit before overtaking.

Wasnt thinking of spending much really Dom.

A Delta of 1998 Vintage,the HF HPE,which was the following shape from the integrale,is very cheap.

A Kappa Coupe or Sedan also very cheap.

Maybe Im missing something.
The fact that I'd only like one of these cheaper,older Lancias we didnt get,is a plus financially.At least that was one of the good sides.Bring the piss on Dom,Im well into golden showers,especially if they contain goodness

Ebay Italy shows me this.

Id be concerned about the cost of fuel on the way back though!

[poopcoupe]

Fuel wise, down to the old engine size. Are you thinking big or small?

[gabriel.oconnell]

yes i have a lancia delta intergrale turbo all the qoc boys know the car ask amnda and my sleeping photo in chatsworth

Hi,
Speaking about L/H drive cars in the UK, have any of you had a problem driving left had drives on our roads? I had a W124 500E which I loved and drove every day, however I soon found driving a right drive car very difficult, my wife’s alloys on the SL are testimony to that. I found the whole L/H driving experience great, but as I said very hard to adjust back. I in the end I sold the 500E.

Personally, I feel more comfortable driving a LHD car in the UK. The only problem was for the first 10 minutes where you get the occasional drift in to the centre of the road!
After driving a left hooker for a while, I've found in the past that when I get in to a RHD afterwards, I tend to leave a lot more room when passing parked traffic on my left.

Our van is a left hooker as were the 2 before that and the RS2 was as well. If you're right handed, you're changing gear with your natural hand as well.










And it's better for kerb crawling.................apparently!
