One of the oddities about RHD to me is the fact that despite roads being 
governed by traffic on the right, many expensive European sports cars of the
twenties and thirties had RHD. I believe this included Hispano-Suiza, and
Alfa. The reasons for this choice are not clear to me. Was this a way of
pretending that these grand tourers were meant for competition? Perhaps the
Alfisti on the list can enlighten us.
