From a safety point of view and it will be cheaper on insurance to have it RHD All E-type chassis were made to be built either RHD or LHD on the production line, so most of the cost is labour Major...

Hi Richard,
You don't say what size of rim or tyre you are requesting advice for. Also is your query for an E-type or a Mk 10? If an E-type, which model, as there were several different options.

Dear Peter, I also have a series 1 2+2.(1967) On this car there are 2 separate fluid reservoirs, one for the front brakes and one for the rear brakes.
