....,Looks a real nice car and very low miles.., always tickles me when people mention this about steering wheel configuration,.. I realise at it,s inception and its home country that they were LHD originally, but whenever I see a LHD, they always seem to look odd, in comparison with RHD.

Very nice car , we need more interior and engine pictures, I hope it runs great,
it needs to stretch its legs, looks like a very nice example.

Oh as previously pointed out get the wheels rebalanced, use stick on weights only inside the wheel
remove the edge weighs they can fly off and damage the bodywork.

Most people are right handed, so, you need to be able to put your right arm out of the driver's window to be able to wield your sword. For the US, substitute gun for sword. I predict that Texas will be the first to switch ..
