- sangnoir 10y ago> Gordon Murray designs some pretty atypical vehicles You don't say! One thing is for sure: he really, really, really loves the idea of a central driving position. All the cars you mentioned have the driver sit smack bang in the middle.
- freehunter 10y agoIt's gotta be cheaper to make one car that can be driven on either side of the road than make a car for the UK and then another one for the rest of the world.
- poooogles 10y agoJapan and Aus(/NZ?) are also in that minor group!
- freehunter 10y agoAn excellent correction. I knew there were more but I was too lazy to look them up.
- beardyw 10y agoNot mention India (population 1.3 billion). All in all one third of the world drives on the left. I read somewhere that a lot of major manufacturers make about 50% of each.
