Convert 16 inch syncro to RHD

[hammerhead]

Hi all

Not sure if this has already been asked but is is it possible to convert a 16 inch syncro to RHD?

Thanks

I hope I've posted this in the right place

Learning to drive LHD is much quicker, easier and cheaper and it doesn't devalue a rare vehicle.

Err...I'll consider myself told off then

I don't like wrong hand drive...do own one but just never felt at home in there...up to you I say..

[xriss]

have you got one to convert? if so what cant you get your head around

Or buy a RHD one ?

Slap a set of 16" Mefros on a 14" RHD, trim the arches at the front, buy some plastic arch trims and no one will know the difference! I won't tell anyone!

Are you selling yours then Jes ??

Nope but busman has a rather ropey looking photo of one up for sale on his site. I hear tell that it's 14.000 ( euro or pound I'm not sure) and its the 'one from Ireland '

Don't have a NATO on the back tho

I've tried to get a bit more information from Mike but he is very cute about it.
1994 (?), 14,000 pounds, good mechaical, average body, power steering."found" in Germany in 2007 then sent to ireland.
Can't believe such a vehicle exists in Ireland and no one on here knows of it!

I thought everyone knew about it?

Yup £14k and defo in need of some resto...

Mike is in business and I guess prices reflect that. interested if the van is at his or still in ireland. The market for this van is very limited, Japan or Australia as well as UK maybe. Been said many times but its worth what someone will pay for it. Some drivers are into rarity, back story, provenance etc. Some are not. Would be interesting to see what the vin is and maybe the original german paperwork. Mine came with it all. As the 'story' goes there were 4 white dokas made at the same time.
E D I T == Mine does not have PS but was sat around for years after production before it got sold (in germany)

Always the last to know! Lol.
Can direct me to a restoration thread or similar for this one. I dont recall seeing it before

I only knew of Jes red doka then the other one in Surrey.

But of course keeping it lhd opens up a huge marketplace, especially the States.
