Hi Greg
and welcome, I looked at converting to lhd some years ago, but as said on the later mini’s there are is a lot to change, steering, brakes, clutch feed, wipers, dash, ever the throttle pedal is different, but you soon get use to driving on the wrong side,
Sometimes I forget and get into the passengers side.

So I think right-to-left conversion is off the cards. Since we have a late Mini, and it's all nice - don't want to start pulling it about. 
STILL no photos. Went to a vinyard this afternoon too, but didn't take a camera. Would've been a good excuse for a Mini photoshoot. We've also got a Fiat 500 (original, 1971) and my wife is Italian, so we've gotta take a photo of the pair of us, Mrs Greg in the Fiat and me in the Mini!

I have good blindspot mirror to cope with all obviously dangerous manoeuvres. So all good in that respect. "LHD RULES" just look at motorsport. So you missed your Kodak moment...there will be others. Take care. Kev.

Finally some photos (including my daughter, who you can't get out of the way when a camera is present! 
)
And with stable-mate, the 1971 Fiat 500:

Great pictures. Cool to have a Mini and a Fiat 500! The last non Cooper models like your own looks great, love the alloys!

The Fiat's cute, but the Mini's a far better car. There'd be no winning rallies in a Fiat 500!

Aye, it is, but it's too bloody hot! 30+ degrees for the last week. Back in the UK next week, looking forward to a few days of cooler weather!
