    There is a seller on PistonHeads selling a 308 stating that its a genuine Right Hand Drive. I have emailed the seller (a business) to let him know he is selling a converted Left Hand Drive but after more than a week he has not altered his listing. The Chassis Number is LHD and the gear lever is to the left of the ashtray.

    Don't the windshield wipers also sweep the opposite way on RHD from LHD? I never thought about this until now, but I suppose that would mean the front bonnet would also be different.

    I'm afraid you're wasting your time!

    From back in December 2016: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/out-of-line-308-328.532822/

    (See posts #8 & #10 in that thread )

    In the original advert back then, they were openly claiming that it was a genuine, original RHD car.

    I emailed them back then, and got no response from them (They later took the "genuine RHD" part out, but still implied it was a rare RHD car)

    I also posted a similar warning on Pistonheads about the car again back in 2020: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=237&t=1401939&i=760

    They are well aware that they are falsely advertising the car, but don't seem to care.

    (The good news is, as they still have the car for sale over 5 years after it was first noted as being falsely advertised, it seems nobody has fallen for their blatant miss-selling tactic! )

    That’s a good catch.

    308 Chassis are asymmetrical and it’s not really a good idea to convert one. I have a RHD 308 here in the US and I would never consider converting it. The set up is quite precise.
