In my original drivers handbook on the RHD '59 Bugeye the speedo is indeed
on the right. The book doesn't have a LHD photo in it, but I know on my
dash the speedo is on the left. The fuel gauge, speedo, tach, (and steering
wheel obviously) are the only things that are on the opposite sides. All
the buttons are in the same place.
