The Italian sports cars like the FIAT Barchetta, Alfa Romeo Giulietta, the classic Julia, the Alfa Romeo 147, the 156, 156 Sport Wagon, 159 and 159 Sport Wagon, and, of course, the best of them all: the Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce.Īlso the Lancia Delta Integrale. The LHD British classics that I have already mentioned cars like the MGA and the MGB, Triumph Spitfires and Triumph TR3s. Motoring fans here want those cars and LHD is not going to stand in their way of getting the European car of their dreams.Īnd so Left Hand Drive cars from Japan break down into, roughly, the following categories: They’re British cars after all, right?Īnd then the other reason why we have so many LHD cars in Japan is that there are just so many great European cars that only ever came out in Left Hand Drive. I’ve even seen more classic British sports cars with the wheel on the left (likely re-imported from the USA) on the roads here than with the wheel on the right and yet there were many many made with the steering wheel on the right, like it is in Britain. Why? Well, for many people in Japan there is a certain specialness, and certain element of posh attached to having a foreign car with that is LHD.
There are plenty of LHD cars on the road here, too. And you certainly can’t have both.īut Right Hand Drive (RHD) cars are not the only thing we drive here in Japan. Who ever thinks to buy a Left Hand Drive (LHD) car from Japan?Ĭars made in Japan for the Japanese market have the steering wheel on the right, right?
