Question for British car guys. Escort Series 1 RS turbo

[rusty85]

I was thinking last night that I might try to convert the old Matchbox/revell Escort XR-3 into a series 1. I'm hoping that someone with better familiarity might be able to say, is this possible? Was the Series 1 turbo sold in left hand drive markets? That apears to be my biggest issue on the face of it, as the XR-3 is a left hand drive kit and I'm not sure I have the skill to make a right hand drive dash. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
