1970 S2 UK RHD now in US for Sale on eBay $30K

Claims a noteworthy owner history. Does look pretty spiffy with fresh red paint and tires. Significant restoration work to go with significant price tag. "Q" SN puts invoice around 2Q/1970.

How knowledgable is this dealer to not make mention of the Cross-Flow engine upgrade?
Not highly worked over, single carb, but I would think it a very significant point.
For the price I think all points in its favor need to be listed.

I own and regularly drive a RHD Land Rover.
Not a big deal but left turn vision can be awkward.
I am sure it is worse in a Europa since they are not noted for rear vision even in LHD.
Surprised someone went to the expense of shipping it here for sale.

1970 S2 UK RHD Back on eBay But Now Asking $18K
« Reply #5 on: Wednesday,April 26, 2023, 10:24:53 PM »
Back yet again for sale again on eBay, only this time with price cut way down from $30K to $18K. Not seeing anything removed except $$ to buy.

If you can live with RHD (I used to work in England...) this could be a sweet deal. Just gotta watch those left turn curbs with one in the US. But then you gotta watch curbs and potholes anywhere driving a Europa.

Seems a swap to LHD should be fairly "simple" but not an overnight task.

I'm thinking of selling two of my S2 projects and offer on this one. I own a RHD Morgan Plus4 so this is no problem for me.
