Where to start? Paperwork issues, the wrong type approval and checking its credit history are just some of the disasters waiting to unfold once the cheque has cleared. There is a market for this type of truck, as operators do spend time overseas, and LHD has its benefits, but finding that outlet is not easy. For a purveyor of used trucks, it’s the equivalent of looking for a needle in a haystack pulled in by a converted wagon and drag (see wagon and drag).
Occasionally a domes tic owner-driver, who knows how to drive a LHD, or has previously worked on the Conti nent, will take it because you have priced it accordingly, but don’t hold your breath.
