Ingo ◊ 2009-01-29 16:16	yes, it is an early r107. definetely european version, not even right-hand-drive, as usual in kenya.

There's actually possibly an in-story explanation for that. The character is a prince (and later king), and is shown to have blatant disregard for parking laws (he just pulls up to the ministry of resources and skids to a halt without even pulling into a parking space). So he could've imported the car and just never bothered to convert it to right-hand drive, because really, who's going to make him?
