I do believe it has been for sale before. If they would fix it up, it might sell.

If that's actually a genuine 12A-T version (easy enough to see by checking the adjustible suspension and boost gauge in place of the voltmeter in the dash) then it's worth a lot more than that.

But who wants to learn to drive from the rightside seat? Shifting with your LEFT hand? Climbing in and out of the RIGHT seat? Turning corners?

its not that hard to go from left to right. The hard part is driving on the left side of the road versus the right
