Welcome to the Opel Community

There is at least one RHD GT in the UK and another in Australia.

Expensive though since there are no stock parts to make the conversion. You need a complete dash made from scratch, a pedal assembly, steering set up and room to fit it all through the carb and exhaust system. No thought what-so-ever was put into making RHD ones by Opel.

Unless you have around GBP20,000 for the 'looks-like-it-was-made-that-way conversion just be happy you have a GT at all ... The Australian one was on the market at $AU40,000 last year - well below cost!!

A later SOHC Opel motor was used to give the necessary clearance for the steering gear and pedals by the look of it.
