Yes Craig, it stays LHD. It would devalue it to change it over. I drove for some years in the US, Norway and in Italy. I find it quite natural, except the 'box is a dog leg with first left and down (and reverse left and up - where first would normally be).
Thanks Mike. The motor is sweet, is redlined at 7000 and has little torque below 3k. It has a great sound with the two K & N-filtered triple Webers. Quite the opposite of the Cobra in terms of revs and torque.
Craig - the seats are from a company in Italy that makes a range of great replica seats. BF Torino (
Home Page ) does the seats from the 60's and 70's and they are advised as being compliant here by the Porsche specialists. Also quite narrow. Could be interesting for Cobras. They have an agent in Melbourne with good prices. The houndstooth (originally called 'pepita') inserts can be in any pattern, even your Scottish heritage. See:

The Porsche guys seem to be in two camps. Those obsessed (the correct word) with originality (down to the make of a bolt, or type of vinyl) and those making 'outlaws' or RS/RSR/ and so on, replicas. Some of the late 70's SCs are near unbreakable and really do the business.
