Maybe Tony wrote it.....

Bit hard to guess what the original writer meant.... but I'm thinking his English is at least one step up from my German....

That listing is no longer on the page Don linked to, but it may have been the way I copied and pasted the info...it grabbed a portion of a table, which includes a link to the listing, and may have gotten a bit twisted.

Maybe not!
If you follow the link in my post, the description ( in 5 languages!) states that it is a left hand drive car and can be bought with RHD equipment to convert it:

"EQUIPMENT
998 ccm 4 cylinders | 56 hp
4-speed manual gearbox
LHD
RHD steering system and can be supplied on request
..."

.

That description is one long overwhelming paragraph!  Then the "Advert removed" so I didn't see the asking price!

But yes, real race cars aren't cheap!  Hardly ANY classic Minis are!
