By the way, meant to say - the cars that are undesirable are just the ones you can't buy for whatever reason
Have you seen the Pirelli Hawk car on Ebay? There's a whole thread on it on the forum...and the price keeps going up and down....!!

The consensus on this car is that it's overpriced but as it doesn't appear to be attracting bids the seller may be amenable to offers? Maybe not but....Originally Posted by Normb666
Being an early Hawk (or late Transformer) it is possible to convert this chassis to LHD but there's a compromise as the spine of the car is offset to the left to give more foot room in the right. It's about 3/4 inch which doesn't sound much but does make it a little cramped down there. Add to that you'd want to move the set closer to the centreline for driving comfort then the rear bulkhead might need moving slightly. More complex is moving the seat belt upper mounts to suit - just weld on a wrap around bar is the easiest solution. Pedalbox will probably need a new upper bulkhead making. Dash obviously, that's the opportunity to convert to Group4. Steering is actually better as LHD allows a direct route from fixed upper column to rack with no additional intermediate shaft. The wiper should also be swapped to the other side of the plinth leaving a hole to be filled/adapted for a fire extinguisher or battery kill switch. There are a couple of minor technical points too that shouldn't put you off. The main concern with the eBay one is the description on the V5 as still being a Lancia which might cause import difficulties. Not sure what the rest of the description of the model is but that might help?
If you want full details I'll try and find the full thread on covering it. Basically what I did to my car a few years back and John did to a car exported to France a year or two back.

EU buyer now says the TUV will cause issues and has pulled out, although 3 others are viewing so fingers crossed. Hoping my motorhome sells.first though
