Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-03-08 12:54	I'm pretty sure Jeeps were not sold officially in the UK back then. Could it be a third-party conversion to RHD?

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-03-20 11:19	Yes, but I was specifically asking about the UK. I don't think there was an official Jeep distributor during the 1980s.
chris40 ◊ 2010-03-20 16:57	Wikipedia says: 'The Cherokee [SJ] was marketed in left and right hand drive countries (such as the UK and Australia).' I have known of two earlier RHD SJs in this country.
