Alessandro58 ◊ 2012-03-16 14:56	Strange: a LHD in Japan...
Q-Ball ◊ 2012-03-16 16:32	rare, but they do exist.
bref ◊ 2012-03-16 20:38	1962 MK2 "BJ7" in my opinion
dsl ◊ 2012-03-16 21:38	Definitely 3000 and 62+ for grille and windows, but I think early Mk3 [BJ8] from Feb 64 due to central console visible in main, but before Oct 65 when twin front sidelights fitted. Vague memory of reading somewhere that LHD was seen as status symbol in Japan in 60s, so some - normally RHD cars - were deliberately sold there in LHD because that's what people wanted. Anyone else come across this idea?
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2012-03-16 23:19	One explanation I've read is that LHD was a status symbol because it implied that the owner could afford to employ a chauffeur, since it's easy for the chauffeur to hop out and open the back door for the passenger. Another explanation is that LHD versions of European cars were felt to be more authentic than RHD ones, although logically that shouldn't apply to British cars since their home market is RHD.
dsl ◊ 2012-03-16 23:35	Another idea is that in aftermath of WW2, the domestic makers were struggling to rebuild and concentrated on small economy cars, leaving a gap for big US cars to come in which would have been LHD, so (exaggerating slightly for effect but reflecting what I remember of the reference) RHD = small domestic dustbins (or imported designs which had comparative prestige - Minx, A40, A55 4CV), LHD = flamboyant exotica to show you were better than your neighbours/colleagues.
