Manual LHD 430 @ £120k inc

Great but sitting on the wrong side of the car????

 

What if it was a 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo? It would be the ONLY side!


P.S. I agree Joe, I'd prefer RHD given a choice, except on a chauffeur car !

 

Come on Clive they are real cars ...So who cares what bloody side yr on.

I dont mind LHD really, JRS has his Challenge car and says its great!!!

 

do the lhd ones have 12 cylinders

 

Do they do it with side strakes and 'non-girlie' steering?

 

Its a non issue , infact I actually like the driving position.

 

Thats the 1st 430 ive seen with a manual, their gonna be pretty rare

 

So what is the future for 430 manual residuals?

1. good as supply will be low.
2. bad as demand will be low.
3. Neutral as supply and demand will both be low, but balanced?

 

The factory obviously agreed with you, that's why they glued the gear stick on as an after-thought

 

Ah but at least you guys in the UK are given a choice. Here in Australia you can't register LHD cars for road use unless they are old.... like 30 years old.

 

It's not been a problem for me.

Technically they're a better car round a track as you get more vision round a clockwise circuit than you would with RHD.

Also as most cars are designed initially as LHD then converted to RHD later the brake master cylinder is on the left hand side. On a RHD car a linkage is required to transmit the brake pedal effort across the car to the left hand side resulting in reduced feel due to torsionl of the linkage.

So there you have it. RHD equals poor vision and spongy brakes

 

you have just got to remember which side the steering wheel is on in the petrol station when loads of females are looking at you thinking you are cool till you get in at the wrong side and look a total wanker

 

Surely that could NEVER happen to a Ferrari owner
Even if you had just bought the car

 

I was looking around the internet and found this site in Germany with 27 430's for sale

If no one in Germany wants these cars perhaps Ferrari can get round to building my RHD one

 

Same. The gearstick looks almost out of place stuck in there, not as nicely integrated as the older cars.

 

Bollocks to the pair of you!

 

You should be pleased we paid attention to your post.....everyone else ignores you!!!!
