RHD cars

It looks great ..... get it ! You could always look at and display it with a mirror, then it's a left-hand drive automobile !

I have the Empress of China 1938 Packard and it's right-hand drive. It still looks great and I can also just ignore the steering wheel position. (I have a regular American left-hand 1938 Packard sedan, too)

Barry, I have very few RHD models but they are of cars that were primarily seen that way by me in 1/1 scale. Frankly it is very difficult to see the steering wheel in most closed models in 1/43 scale unless you're right down on them. I say, if you like the car otherwise, go for it.

👍 Great idea Mike !

Thanks for the replies, guys! Still trying to decide if I should open up another can of worms 🪱 🤔 

It is an amazing model, I love mine. As far as RHD, I opened that can years ago. I'm sure it won't hurt to open just a little one, LOL!

The can of worms has been opened! Not only one, but two RHD cars are on order. Here’s the second one:

 And so it begins...

A nice car to add to your new adventure would be a 1961 Singer Vogue.  In Northern Rhodesia, my dad had a two-tone green one, with green leather upholstery and I remember it fondly. But sadly I've not found a white metal version yet.  British cars can be quite rewarding.

....just purchase one of these!    😀 😀 

@charles-rockett I'm already looking at more English cars, I think the color scheme of this Humber Hawk would fit in nicely with the other two:

Then I'll take a little pause with RHDs...

@moe-parr If you find the three grow on you, have a look-out for Crossway, Somverville, Milestone Miniatures, SMTS and Kenna Models : all make wonderful British car models. When I'm next back in London, I shall collect a nice Crossways Rover.....

Glad you asked? Looks like the group answer is yes.

There are many interesting models of English and Australian cars. When white metal industry was on the top, many workshops offered British cars. Western Models, Pathfinder, Four Wheels Models, Viscount, Gems@ Cowbes.

At the same time, Trax from Australia offered a huge range of different Fords and Holdens. It was the time when this manufacturer had been producing excellent unexpensive diecast miniatures. Now, Trax appealed to resin and lost its individuality.

Other interesting Australisn cars were produced by Classic Carlectanles and mysterious white metal Kookaburra.

You just have to be an old Dinky, Corgi, and Spot-On collector to have dozens of RHD cars. Plus I have many in resin and white metal.

  Or just be a Bentley collector.
