it is a bit weird when you first get in one but for a little bit of oddness about it the rest of the car wins hands down its just the best.

Unless you are really tall or something like that you will not have a problem. Just takes a little getting used to. The disadvantages of LHD far outweight the minor inconvenience of the driving position.
When driving in a LHD 911 I have always thought to myself 'is this fabled LHD driving position really better?' (better take cover before the LHD brigade are alerted [
]).

Hi Andy
I'm 6'2" and medium build and I can do a long journey without so much as a twinge. The only problem I had was the ability to heel and toe, due to the offset pedal arrangement, but I eventually got used to that too. I have the hard back sports seats which are really good, although they do weigh a bit and will be the first thing to go when the car goes on a diet.
If you look at the mountings for the seats, you will find there are a couple of positions that the subframe can take. This allows for a slight change in legroom, if that's a problem for you.
Don't let the quirky driving position put you off what has to be one of the most phenomenal cars ever made.
Regards

Andy,
I have to say that I first sat in a RHD 964 long after I bought my own LHD car and I couldn't believe how strange it felt!! The pedal offset is completely unique to the RHD cars - the LHD position is MUCH better. Unless you spend lots of time using barriered car parks the LHD is no major inconvenience although passing on narrow roads can be a little time consuming but, on the whole, I'd think twice about buying a RHD 964/993 in the future.

Dave
