Awww.... sad now....

Ok, I hadn't realised the RHD -> LHD conversion was quite that involved.

Also - now looking into US registration laws, as it's not a classic car (i.e. over 25 years old) and I won't have the same exemptions as military personnel, it would seem that I'd have to change all of the lights on the car to ones with identical technical specifications simply to get a little mark etched into them to comply with lighting laws over there.

And, I suppose a US-spec Cooper has the added advantage that the gearbox is a Getrag and can cope with a little bit of tuning... I think... is that right?

Poor Zeus... I don't know how I'll cope with the sale......

Excuse me... I need to go have a cup of tea and some chocolate...
