Spotted an old geezer driving one of these and gave chase to grab a photo.

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.

IIRC there was only 1 convertible made and that was for the film. Also, Connery was so tall, they had to remove the seat so that he could get in it.

So, have been using my Seesucker roof rack for about a month now, mostly for ferrying bike too and from races via work. I went for the mini bomber which takes two bikes.
After my initial worries and nightmares of bikes bouncing down the motorway in the rear view mirror, am now pretty confident in its suction power! Put in around 600/700 miles with bikes on the roof so far, including a trip up to Yorkshire for the Tour with zero issues....Super easy to take on and off too.....Looks pretty bad-ass an all.Fuel consumption takes a noticeable hit though!
Recommended for sure!

Saw the pic of it on Facebook. Car manages to still look mega with the rack and bikes on!

No but everything I hear says it's very airfield-y and not very racetrack-y

Surely this is more worthy of your hard earned money :)

Was it designed as a left hand drive model? Or mainly sold in LHD?
Older British and Fairly recent Japanese cars were the right way round but I guess penny pinching accountants made them standardise on the parts that were fitted to the majority of markets. Rover swapped sides in 1981 for the SD1 facelift. The Rover 416 had them the wrong way round but the same car with Honda Concerto badges had them the right way.
The oldest car I have driven was a 1953 Daimler DB18 Consort. That had a chrome ring on the steering wheel that you turned. And originally had trafficators.
