Dear Sirs
Could someone please advise me on the conversion of a Lotus Elan from Right hand drive to Left hand drive - which parts need to be modified or replaced, and what would me the approximate cost? Is it a complicated job or straightforward? A long does it typically takes to do such a conversion? Thanks to all, kindest regards

Edgar,
Dont know anything about it myself but there was a discussion on this a while ago,
go to the Elan section and in the search box enter "CONVERT" you will find a thread with some posts which may help you.

You would need the following components from a LHD Elan.
Steering Rack
Dashboard
pedals
throttle cable
This was discussed on the Yahoo Elan list a while back, the link to the start is

messages start at 10440, the title is Pedal Box Arangment
the throttle cable is the easy part, cost is what ever you end up paying plus the possible loss/gain in resale value of your Elan.
