I should value opinions. I have acquired a LHD Frogeye from the colonies as a restoration project. Should I leave it as built or convert to RHD? The finished car is for Mrs. Norfolk Phil to tootle around in.

Whatever you end up doing I suggest that Mrs Norfolk Phil is completely onside with the decision. I would just keep it lhd if the wife was happy to potter about on that basis. Handy for getting in and out onto the pavement for shopping...

For Norfolk lanes driving I would think that RHD is almost essential imho.
Never mind overtaking , think about visibility. Around lh bends it is reduced (but it is of course better on rh bends)
So if your wife is going to drive in a clockwise direction go LHD , if anticlockwise RHD would be the conclusion ;-)
