    This is a RHD car... AS far as I am aware it has never been sold as a LHD car and I believe that th FVC numberplate would indicate that the car was sold in Coventry.

    LHD pre production? Then a Factory test car maybe?

    JDHT have confirmed that all the numbers are correct and that the car was manufactured in December 1970... Yes it was made as a LHD car.

    Anyone have any ideas as to why it was a) so early and b) converted to RHD just 2 years later?

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
