Gerard,
Please show proof as I dispute your statement. None of the books in my
substantial library show the speedo in any other position than that
which has been previously stated. Look at where the notch is for the
speedo reset. According to the factory parts book there is only one
part # , for the fascia, to supply all the LHD Bugeyes made. Should
your premise be true then there would, most likely, have been a
different dash supplied for that application.
Your turn, Brad

Brad,
Well this is apparently true in earlier cars. Later cars have the
speedo on
the right and I assumed they were always that way, especially since I
had
lots of trouble wih the cable with the speedo on the left on my
Bugeye.
Early handbooks do show the speedo on the left on a RHD car.
