Relocating the Steering Wheel
Relocating the Steering Wheel
Here’s the scenario: You have found your dream car, but the steering wheel is located on the wrong side, and you aren’t allowed to import/drive it in your country. Can it be swapped over and how difficult is relocating the steering wheel?
As with most things, the answer depends on the car. The most challenging item is to re-engineer the dashboard. On older cars this can be fairly simple, but on newer cars, less so, but still possible.
Swapping the steering and pedals over is generally simpler and boils down to an engineering challenge. A different steering rack will be needed and some adjustments to the vehicles internal bulkhead will need to be changed.
At Harper Sports Cars, we are specialists in this kind of demanding work. Please contact us to discuss your project – we can help you.

Workshop and Design Studio Highlights of 2017
Workshop and Design Studio Highlights of 2017
Our 2017 Season:
Birkens Project
2017 was the year of Birkins at Harper Sports Cars. They come to us for all kinds of work, from full restoration to minor tweaks. We are delighted to offer service and repairs on these fantastic little sports cars, possibly one of the most loved sports cars in the world.
Whether you need us to build you a car of your own design from scratch, or re-body your donor car, or something in-between, please talk to us! We can definitely change your engine oil and Oil Filter.

4 into 1 Exhaust system Ferrari Project
This client approached us to build him a Ferrari P4. He would supply us with a body and could we design a chassis under that to accept his Ferrari V12 engine?
We started design work and it soon became apparent that there wasn’t enough room for both the V12 and the driver- using a conventionally available transaxle. Therefore we extended the body by 175mm, to take the engine and give the owner sufficient space to be comfortable in the cockpit.
What a beautiful machine this turned out to be.
Other tasty projects include the M1B McLaren we are building from scratch for Jason and our Super Insane Alfa Romeo – V6 Turbo powered 1957 Fiat 500, there is so much to tease you with!
