It's interesting to see what items are reversed on a RHD car...

The fuel tank door is still on the R side. The interior is pretty much completely reversed, as you would expect.

The windshield wipers wipe the "wrong" way.

Under the hood, I'm not seeing much that is reversed except the coolant fill cap. IIRC, that's on the R side in my car. Not sure why that particular item would be reversed.

This car looks like it has the "tornado vortex" sand eliminating intake tubes fitted... at least thats what I'd assume having see the config in PET (but never in person). I thought that was a mainly a middle eastern desert delivery option..

I notice in the cars write-up, that it is ex- Singapore.., that might account for the car,s colour, trim spec, etc ......,? as although Iv,e seen Amethyst 928,s over here, Iv,e never seen it with that particular spec

I love my colour which is Minerva blue..., but Amethyst is a whole different story, dont know what it is, but that colour is gorgeous...., if only I had the money ???

Could be.

I also find it interesting that the front wiper direction is reversed, but the rear wiper is not.

Having the fuel tank flap on the same side as the driver is actually a nice thing...

Front wipers have to be reversed for RHD otherwise you get too big of an unwiped patch in the top right of the windshield... rear doesn't make much difference.

Under the hood I think the changes were driven by the linkages for pedals and steering column with the minimum changes made to fit those in.. not much is changed... since its all extra expense for a relatively small total share of the market ..
