Unfinished RHD conversions / features

Manufacturer or specialist anything goes more or less, but it'll be handy to keep it to cars over 20 years old.

To start the thread off:

Volvo 343/340 automatic selector.

For RHD cars, Volvo printed on P R N D down the right hand side of the surround plate, but they are unlit, unlike the left hand side, so not much use in the dark.

Not too obvious to see, but the centerconsole part, where the Radio is supposed to be mounted, is angled towards the left. The handbrake is also over on the left hand side of the center console.


1989 Audi 200, Type 44. Audi just didn't bother making a specific part for the RHD market.

The Rover SD1 dashboard is the same for RHD/LHD cars, just an air vent is where the steering column would be if it was on the other side.

That's Leyland for you, keep it simple.

The ultimate RHD/LHD vehicle - Unimog. In certain types of Unimog you could change it from RHD to LHD in a matter of minutes.

IIRC, the steering column, pedals and instrument binnacle were a complete unit so it could be detached and re attached into position. And, if you took the whole thing with you, it made the perfect anti theft device.:eek:
