Left hand drive |

Maybe it is just the passenger which is waiting that the driver comes back? Strange to see it as LHD in Japan as the original one is RHD. |

Did I read somewhere that LHD cars (particularly when expensive imports) are more fashionable in Japan even when RHD is available - as it looks more exclusive and says 'imported'? ...also possibly a very small clue confirming its LHD, the rear view mirror on the windscreen appears to be angled towards the person in the left hand seat. |

Well, yes, but maybe not for UK cars and it was also to prevent the "long linkage" problem as Jun explained it some time ago, which should not be a problem either for a true UK car like this one. |

Could this be a Morgan Plus Eight?? |

I don't think it's a Plus Eight; it doesn't look wide enough, and looking at the mirrors I think it might be too old. Oh, and judging by the windscreen wipers it might be right-hand drive |

No, it was driven there by Sonny Chiba himself, sitting in left. |

4/4 i think |
◊ 2008-09-26 22:03 |
My first thought was a Morgan Plus 4? |

Its not too old for a Plus Eight as they started to be built in 1968, 2 years before this film. However, its more likely to be a 4/4 or Plus 4 as I think the 8 was on a waiting list and probably wouldn't have been available for a film in 1970. |

Grille looks taller than usual, but I think 62+ low bonnet +4 with mid-60s orange sidelights. |
