DynaMike ◊ 2008-02-03 13:57	It does indeed. Did they make LHD versions of it?
Sunbar ◊ 2008-02-03 14:22	I don't think there was the demand to build any, so I doubt any LHD versions of the FX3 were made (although a few of the later FX4 models were made for export). It was however not unusual to export them for their novelty value as 'London Taxis' by companies for tourist use. All the details match so I guess the FX3 as far fewer FL1 versions were made.
