No association, anyone know it? Is it factory RHD?

If the wipers are anything to go by it started life as a leftie

[douglas]

It's got a door pull on the driver side and none on the passenger side so it could well have started life as a leftie

Californian import
Is actually a 71 model
Engine is correct type 2.2l but non matching from 1970

Conversion can't be too bad as they have got the heater controls in the correct spot for a RHD and hardly anyone does that

Doesn't look too bad and the price is about right, believe me I've seen alot worse conversions than that...

Had a quick word to him.

Import - early 1970's conversion

Interesting price

I like the idea of an early conversion for two reasons:

1. Good chance correct panels were available and used (as in heater control section)

2. Plenty of time for problems to show up

That was what made me initially question whether it was a factory RHD.

Seems a reasonable price.

earlier conversions seem alot better, in the 70's the workmanship of the conversion was very strictly scrutinized to get an engineers certificate, this practice went by the wayside somewhere in the 80's, like alot of other stuff...
