Yes, neither one of these vehicles were EVER MADE LHD. All are RHD. Find one
w/ LHD, you've got a conversion, not an original.

If memory serves me, the 1800/2000 Roadster was never built as LHD. If I
am wrong, I am sure that someone will correct me. I know that all of the
roadsters that I have seen have been RHD. Yeah, I know, I haven't seen
all of the roadsters. :-O
I remember asking one of the owners and being told that they were all RHD.
It may be the same as with the MG-TC(I know, bite my tongue), that since
they were never really intended for export, they were not built in LHD.
