The biggest kick I get out of driving an RHD 75 in a LHD country is when I get pulled over late at night and the cop knocks my wife's window, and before she gets to say anything he asks her if she's been drinking. And sometimes she has so it's funny to see the guys face as she says "Yes I have, but I'm not driving, he is "

Very nice looking car you got there and very rare too (not many Wedgwood Dealer Lunch cars in LHD guise and less so in France. Thanks a lot for the garage names. I will keep them preciously in my notes. The Sir Lucas Garage seems very interesting as it is on the way to my work in France. A bientôt j'espère,

The lesser funny part being when you are trying to go out of a parking and the gate being on the right hand side of the car. One cannot put the ticket in the gate unless there is a passenger in the front seat...

I'm thinking of converting my next 75 to LHD as though I have no problems driving a wrong-sided drive car in the city, it gets a bit worrisome on steep curves in the mountains at night. |
