62 Midget w/Right Side Steering

Share this page

Goodness I have an engine and transmission just made for that little beauty.
If it looks as nice as the picture then - no it's just way to far away for me - but wow my 1098 and ribcase sure would make that a driver.

Wonder if it really has a 72 Title?
 
LOL - I had the same thought for my 948 and trans but just no room, grrrrr! I even have red seats from my BE project too. I didn't think about that the title could say 72 as we all know, these little cars can be registered in some very interesting ways.
 
Only $1000 to ship it to Alabama and I have an extra 1275-ribcase and an extra 1098-ribcase! Those pictures sure are tempting!

Not too far from Bill M, Rick! Maybe he's got some extra space for a while!

I wonder what it would take for my wife to actually kill me.
This might be the thing...
 
Boy, I would have been sorely tempted by that at one point... you know you want a RHD car. It's fun.

Having owned a RHD car I can attest to the fact that it adds a whole new dimmention to driving! You need a passenger to tell you if its safe to pass!!

Well, the registration is 1963 so I guess it's a 62 model.

Our Elan is RHD, and with small cars, particularly top-down, you really don't notice you're on the wrong side of the road.

On the other hand, I remember when we lived in France I drove a LHD Chrysler Van across to England, and that wasn't so easy!
 
I imagine a LHD van in europe would be a challenge!! Viewing oncoming traffic by crowding the shoulder used to work! If you sit a really young kid in the passenger seat you get a lot of double takes!!

Bill, you are over your Private Topic limit or I'd send you a PM.
Is your hotmail working yet?
Gmail is a pretty good alternative, it's free and so far mine has not been hacked.
 
Well, it was fine in France, but once we'd crossed the Channel, it wasn't fun at all.

Is France LHD? Never got the opportunity to go east across the water, but my uncle sam helped me go west!

France drives on the right, the UK on the left. Like American cars, most French cars are LHD; most British cars are RHD.
 
There are phone numbers on the ad, but it's timed out.
Still viewable I think, if not I have saved the numbers and will call after work. Probably long gone if it is as good as it looks.
