How much would you pay? I would still rather have it in LHD.

Gear stick probably less natural to use,hand brake to rest your elbow on,smaller footwell etc.
I should imagine it's an ergonomic nightmare,unless everything is mirror imaged it will not be as nice to drive.I wonder what steering rack it uses.

The door handle is still the passenger side one looks like they can not change it.

You no longer have to convert LHD to RHD in Oz apparently, I was talking to my cousin at the 20-20 Cricket in Perth a couple of weeks ago and he was saying that the Oz Gov changed the rules so it is no longer a requirement for new LHD cars that they are converted to RHD!

Rob, didn't you know of someone selling an ex-demo? I'm sure it was one of your posts? Proper UK spec & supplied car too?

I don't think the ZR1 is even available in VR is it? In fact no red at all. They must be mad.
