That sadly hits a very serious note. You have no idea how close you are on that one, Keith. When you're out here, I'll explain the tragic story that goes with it.

RHD California Look. Guilty as charged! You say... RHD fake US spec '67. Well, I've got a RHD '67 with upright headlights - which is part of the US spec 'package' so... Guilty as charged with no signs of remorse for my crime. I say... When it comes to trans Atlantic spec-envy you forget to mention the most common mismatch... ...Euro blades on a US Spec Bug!

The important word is 'look'- If YOU think something looks OK that's all the matters. I like '67's with upright headlights - that's why my RHD UK '67 has them. If someone else doesn't like it, well, I ain't gonna have a sleepless night worrying about it. Title: Re: mismatches: Let's hear some Post by: benssp on December 19, 2008, 16:58:58 pm Spot on Ivan

(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/Mlook.jpg) The Mulholland look - the most heavily advertised least often seen 'look' of them all. I hear it's making a come-back and this time around you will at least see one Mulholland' car on the show circuit. If the Rumour I just made up was ture, there's a '67 being worked on as we speak, it's a Porsche Minvera car on BRMs that used to be owned by a guy called Gary who was part of a family well known for known for VW performance parts and used to drag race quite a bit... Well, it couldn't get much worse... Well unless it was converted to RHD, fitted with sloping headlights and a ragtop rood section ;D Oh, and why not whack billet running boards on it and a herrod helper. Neon pink tinware would work well against the Minerva blue paint too.
