Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Oddly my Merc has it on the right and that's a) German and b) from 1990. The wipers are on the same stalk. And the lights. I think they got carried away.

That's a Merc 'thing'. Once you get used to it, hard to fault, amirite?

My '83 Datsun Stanza 1.6GL saloon (you heard me) had them on the right, loved it for one-armed motorway cruising.
