I am thinking about buying a 1962 Jaguar Mark X with right side steering. The car is in pretty good shape and will be running when I buy it. I am wanting to restore the car, not as a prize wining show car, just something nice. Will the right side steering hurt or help the value of the car?

I have a RHD MK2, drive it almost every day.
Passing issues can be overcome, but drive through tellers at the bank.....I do it at least once a week.
It's a hoot.
I back through.
Usually I have to wave those following up...as they think I am going to drive forward.....drive new tellers nutz.
Whilst any Jaguar will command attention, a RHD usually draws more. Been there.

Get your chauffeurs jacket and cap, drive your wife shopping someday......you never know, the press might be waiting when she is done.

Lewis the value for RHD will always be better in RHD areas unless there is some 'special' story about the car (owned by a celeb or such). That said I have driven and owned several RHD cars. My total issues with them were at drive up tellers/ toll roads and when passing another car.. The vision to the front is limited and in a MKX the size may make that situation more difficult. All of that said there are no other issues with RHD vs LHD--other information about driving might be obtained from your USPS carrier.
