Selling a car to someone overseas

[Ed Doe]

I sold my 3.0si coupe to a lovely French chap.

:lol: :lol:
That is surely a "contradiction in terms"?

:lol: Genuinely not, seemed like a really decent chap - sends me pics of the car still every so often! He's done some cracking trackdays in it too, very pleased it's gone to a proper enthusiast!

One of our forum members lives in Germany and he did convert an RHD to an LHD. Perhaps this is your buyer's aim.

No, I want my finesse hand to do the precise work of shifting whilst my left hand can do the simple job of turning a steering wheel.

Manufacturers must agree as on my British made tractor, all the gears are on the right side of the steering wheel

Well, being left handed Iv'e always been glad the the gear stick is on the left as I have always thought it is easier. Plus the steering on the MGB was very heavy at slow speed but never had trouble steering at higher speed, with BOTH hands on the wheel. :roll:

Yeah he seems a really good guy. I don’t have any issues, it’s just getting the cash from his bank to mine.

Transfer as per normal. Depending on the bank you may have to enable the receipt of foreign currency on it and allow them to convert at the bank day rate.

Santander was automatic for me, NatWest I had to approve
