On the other hand, a potential buyer of a TR6 may be quite concerned
about buying a car designed for another market. RHD is potentially a
safety problem and to someone who doesn't work on their car might make
them cautious that there would be unusual repair costs. In other
words a RHD car might be desirable to someone who wants it for a
specific purpose (like competition) but not to the average Joe. The
problem with this kind of car is finding the buyer who wants it. You
might get a higher price, but you would have to look harder and it
would take longer...
What $ difference are they saying?
