LHD conversion on a classic - Who can do it?
Hello all, it's been some time since my last post.
Quick History: I've owned many scoobies in the past when lived in the UK, now been in the middle east for the past 7 years. U daily a new RS3, however, for a weekend/hobby car, I want to import a classic to Qatar. Only LHD cars allowed so would need to do a conversion before export. A really good Subaru community out here but no classic motors, all new and a few blobs and hawks and one bug. Bringing a classic overhear would be unique, to say the least.
First of all which company could do the conversion?
I would ideally be wanting to purchase a JDM WRX STI Wagon, one that may well be modified but a minter below average miles in WR blue, however, I'm flexible with colour and spec depending on the car.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Give Damian from Sawicki JDM Performance Cars a shout.
He can not only import the car from Japan, but offers conversions for a reasonable price, too.

You will not get a LHD classic STi anything in Europe as none were made or imported. I only know of one LHD STi 5 saloon in Switzerland which was built as a prorotype but officially none were ever made, this car is also not road legal in Switzerland.
However I do know that Colin McRaes 1997 WRC car which is LHD is currently for sale by a dealer in Böblingen, Germany for €280k

or maybe another LHD might take your fancy.
