    It has the side reflectors like you see on US cars?

    hmm.. the VIN seems to indicate a US car too.

    Yeah i've been keeping an eye on that one too ash! Driven past it a few times, its in a sales yard, sits out in the sun during trading hours. Lots of huge jacked up 4wd's around it, Ford Broncos, 150's etc...and American chopper bikes.

    can go take some pics if anyone wants em? it looks mint from the outside for sure.

    perhaps one of our lurking yanks might like to do a carfax... http://www.carfax.com/cfm/check_order.cfm?VIN=ZFFSG17A3L0085267&PopUpStatus=0

    so, looks as though it's a LHD conversion, which incidentally, may be what IanB was referring to here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?p=136087421#post136087421

    i thought the shifter gate being on the left side of the centre console might be a giveaway, but having just gone to look at half a dozen other RHD TRs i see they all were setup like that.

    Don't know about down there in Mexico :p but in QLD the car has to be RHD to get it Registered though the Transport Dept, If it is 30 years older it can be either RHD obviously or LHD Registered but it needs to be concessional Rego and you need to be a Car Club Member

    i think he means why do it to a car that is readily available in RHD guise from the factory.
