it's cute, especially if you need a RHD car, but...
PORSCHE 914 914/6 replica car without a VIN it's hard to know just what is being offered...

Since Porsche did not make any right hand drive models themselves, I guess you could call all of them conversions in one way or another. It certainly looks like a nicely done car. It's fun to see how the dash is reconfigured for right hand drive! I've only driven a RHD car once in Grenada, and it certainly is a different experience. When you're at a four way stop with traffic and want to make a right hand turn, you really have to double check your thinking where you want to go and who's turn it is to enter the intersection!

When I was a test-driver for Volkswagon-Audi, they would bring a few RHD Audis over. Strange as shit to drive on American Roads - can't see to try to pass someone, trying to shift with the opposite hand. One of the other testers was about to go over a wooden bridge in a RHD, didn't line up the wheels correctly, took out the side of the bridge and plunged into the creek below.

Anyone know if the shift pattern was inversed (e.g. Reverse is up and to the right, first down and to the right) on the RHD cars?
