Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2007-08-02 15:40	Did DKW export to any right hand drive markets? If they were exporting to Britain, they could have been stuck with unsold RHD stock when war broke out. And Czechoslovakia drove on the left until the German occupation in 1939. Link to "en.wikipedia.org"
Weasel1984 ◊ 2007-08-02 17:56	I doubt that this car is from CS or Britain. Well, seems sometimes before the war cars in Poland were RHD. Soon I'll upload pics from a pre-war movie and there is also such vehicle. Edit: Here it is: /vehicle_120194-unknown.html -- Last edit: 2007-08-02 18:11:53
