It's supercharged? Is that some sort of incomplete DIY stealth kit?

I like the extension to the drive shaft. Too bad the steering wheel is on the wrong side....

You mean the correct side, like all the first automobiles ...

Good to know

Also
* 90% of the world is LHD
* 10% is RHD, principally island nations
* Australia allows LHD in vintage cars (30+ years old)

So no reason to look askance at them. I had no problem except the first time I drove mine

I always have problems after driving in the USA when I come back ... using the wipers to turn (indicator stalk tends to be on the other side too)

Who cares whether it's left or right hand. It's a freaking cool Datsun full stop/period.
