Dandy-Don - I Know this thread is a little old but I thought I would throw my $.02 worth in anyways..

I've driven RHD vehicles and they always felt strange - gear-shift primarily although I know you can put the gear-shift on driver's right sill. The other thing is this - RHD cars are meant to be driven on the left side of the road where the driver is positioned next to the centerline of the road. Put that RHD car on the right side of the road and you're at a distinct disadvantage. Coupling that with the poor general rearward visibility of the GT40 and you've really stacked the deck against you.

I will be ordering a GT40 kit soon and it will be LHD for the reasons I stated above. Originality be darned - if I'm not comfortable driving it I'm not having fun. If I'm not having fun - why bother with it at all..
Making it RHD to make it "more correct" is a poor reason to do it in my opinion - it's still a replica and all the originality in your creation will not change that..

Do what works for you..
