Default Any Hand Controlled Scooby's around?

I have some damaged nerves in my feet & lower legs so may have to get some hand controls (throttle, brake and probably clutch).
I am searching the market, there are quite a few in the market, but does anyone know of a hand-controlled Scooby I could get some advice from?
I have a JDM 2001 Bugeye STi.

As a matter of interest, one of the top drivers in the Dakar used hand controls this year!

There was a project car on here not long back that had hand controls if I am not mistaken, the owner was disabled and the spec was amazing.
Im sure someone can remember it.

Yes I was aiming to convert mine as I love it. There are quite a few suppliers, just wanted some advice on which might be best.

Contact Empty Heed on Scottish Scoobies (SIDC) she has a converted Blobeye wagon (Sport), was done privately as couldn't get it as a mobility car.

Think she's looking at getting a Turbo classic at the moment.
