Default 2cv - Convert to LHD? - 04-15-2005 , 09:12 AM






Hi,

Has anyone ever converted a 2CV to LHD? If so, how difficult is it? I know
I could just buy an LHD 2CV, but it's a bit more complicated than that :-)

My dad lives out in Greece, he's just been diagnosed with Parkinsons
disease. He's always wanted a 2CV special - Pemberton, Grasshopper, Lomax
type thing. He's now decided to buy one while he's still able to drive it.
Doesn't want to waste time building it for obvious reasons.

Now, these cars are illegal in Greece but not if they are on foreign plates.
He's checked all this out and wants to buy a ready built car in the UK then
I'll drive it over. He wants to convert it to LHD though.

Apart from a steering rack, dash panel and pedal box, relocating master
cylinder to the left, repiping the brakes and a bit of cutting and miggery
to make it all fit what else needs to be done?

Any help appreciated :-)

Mr Jinx

Try this for some leads. It should not be too difficult to source a LHD 2CV
in the UK.

The Lomax is still a great looking car

Best of luck

You've never driven in Greece, have you, Richard?

Clue :- FITMENT of any of those seems optional.
