It looks like a rebuild being fired up for the first time and burning off assembly oil.

When it smokes like this, that means the food is done in the exhaust manifold cooker!

It looks suspiciously like right hand drive, or do my eyes deceive me?

That's a special feature of this car. You never have to dispose of used oil. You just keep topping it up when it gets low. HOW GOOD IS THAT FOR THE ENVIOROMENT???
