Well. There is now a Vortex in the Czech Rep. I made the decision and went for it. My son and I drove the thing from Stansted airport to Brno using the Norfolk Line ferry. They were very good as I gave them warning we had low underbody clearance and they sorted it. Because of the engine mounting problems we took it gently but couldn't resist opening her up a bit on the German autobahns. The Germans were typically unimpressed but once in CZ we were photographed and even quizzed during a traffic jam around Prague. The Czech motorway (D1) nearly shook the car to pieces. We have since found various nuts on the garage floor. The car has since taken on a different interpretation of being sexy. When revved, the exhaust jiggles backwards and forwards through the bodywork like an excited penis. This could be due to missing engine mount bolts.
So Kenmorton, I may take you at your word and look at the issues involved with converting RHD to LHD, particularly as it does not appear on the MOT cert.
