Wouldn't take much to convert, dash and a steering assembly from a left hooker.

Yet another reason to come back to the creamy bosom of Omega ownership. :)

When I saw Rockingham, I thought of Rockingham Road on the A61 in Birdwell.

Post by: BazaJT on 13 January 2018, 19:57:45: There is a Rockingham Road in Swinton I lived there from the age of 2 until the age of 19,there were still at least two of the [very]old pottery kilns within a mile or so of where I lived.

Post by: STEMO on 13 January 2018, 19:59:14: Do you think Rockingham Road might run from Barnsley to Rockingham? ;D

Post by: STEMO on 13 January 2018, 19:59:51: Anyway, back to the car. It does look tidy.
Title: Re: Car for our Spanish correspondent
Post by: BazaJT on 13 January 2018, 20:02:18: From the pictures it does indeed look tidy,but I'm still not buying it though!

I saw a roadside workshop in Cambodia once where they were converting LHD to RHD or vice versa cant remember which. I guess cars are cheaper either in Thailand or Cambodia and Thailand drive on the left, Cambodia on the right. ;)

I wandered in for a lookysee as it looked interesting, but they didn't seem very pleased to see me and I think they told me to opps off! ;D

You buy and run it for a couple of months. If it’s a good’un, I’ll give you a grand for it, if it’s shite, you can keep it.
Can’t say fairer than that.

Post by: BazaJT on 13 January 2018, 20:28:32: Very kind of you to offer,but buying a second Omega would be greedy and as you don't have one I'll let you have the pleasure of buying it.
