OK well it depends on who is selling it, and what country its from

certain countrys ie germany have allways not considered RS'S
as special as us lot. when my mate joined the army and got sent to
dortmund the first thing he did was buy a mk2 rs 2000 lhd and
fcuking rub my nose in it, as they were so cheep
then i got one lhd

if you go to say holland they are more it seems than germany
but i have always been told and have seen it for myself,there are
some ropey ones over there but there are some excellent ones too.
i have seen them lhd in europe for the same or more than over here.

Prices start at 10000€ but then you do get what you pay for most of the time. The decent ones (that usually still need a bit of work) will be 12000€-14000€.
Average price will be between 14000€ and 17000€ for a good car.
Highest price category goes up to about 25000€
Prices for an EsCos or a 3d are pretty much in the same league. Prices for a 4d start at 5000€ up to about 10000€

Italy is the place to be nowadays btw

As said, IIRC places like Italy/France/Spain are the cheapest for em, esp Italy i think it was.

Remember one of the breakers getting a transporter load from Italy to break as they so cheap over there

MadFordit imported a load of LHD S1's a few years back. I got a load of stuff from them for my left hooker.

I love LHD, just always prefered having the left hand for steering and right hand for gearshifts.......... although carparks and McD's are a bit of a pain in the arse

no chance mate, i had a left hand drive mk2 rs2000 as my first car.

i like to steer with my left hand, change gear with my right hand
and its easier to kerb crawl with a left hooker
