993cc ◊ 2023-12-06 20:04	My guess is that this is a conversion of some kind, either LHD->RHD or a lights/wings/front job as I cannot find anything about Fulvias in Hong Kong. It could be a private import from UK or elsewhere, unlikely they did a special version like this just for HK (Japan would want most likely LHD but perhaps these also went to Australia)
dsl ◊ 2023-12-06 20:46	HK received lots of Fulvias, especially saloons and I suspect we've probably got more untagged examples. RHD/ordinary lights is a simple permutation for the factory to dial in to the batch scheduling and might have been used elsewhere (eg RHD Mediterranean markets) - it's the UK spec high light format which is the anomaly. This HK example doesn't look like it's got headrests (which I think were normal 3/S3 features, though haven't checked) or visible seatbelts; Malta was one market which didn't require seatbelts before late 70s - non-Lancia example - so maybe HK/M shared production batches??
993cc ◊ 2023-12-06 20:55	Well I see we only have one other Coupe don't know if there are others hidden. But Malta+Hong Kong still must have been tiny numbers (even add Cyprus if you want) why bother when you have the UK version ready to go?
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2023-12-06 21:16	There would be other differences between the UK and other RHD markets, such as speedometers. Speed limits in Hong Kong were in mph until 1984: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_units_of_measurement#Transport Australia, New Zealand and South Africa went metric during the 1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication#Other_English-speaking_countries In the Republic of Ireland distances on road signs were changed to metric during the 1970s, but speed limits and speedometers used mph until 2005. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Ireland#Metrication

That isn't re-engineering is just swapping gauges.
