We've had similar discussions before about RHD US cars in HK, concluding that they were probably locally but officially converted in Aus, which had a high domestic demand for US/CDN cars, and then also offered to other RHD markets around Pacific. Edit: also that shipping between Commonwealth countries would have favoured CDN-built cars for reduced import tariffs compared to US. But probably not relevant for Tbirds?? -- Last edit: 2012-07-18 14:47:01
