Re: 1927 Model A's
Just love those RHD photos Brad.
Just to add a little fuel to the fire, according to the Dearborn engine release logs, the first engines released for RHD were, A1481, A1484, and A 1496 on December 5th 1927.
The December 9th 1927 Autocar magazine has an extensive article on the New Ford and pictures RHD roadster, coupe, saloon (tudor) and chassis, as well as the above two models. When you look closely at Brad's photos, you can see they had some English content as well. I wonder whether the ones shown at the Holland Park exhibition were the small bore 'AF' versions. As these motors get a mention in the article. It also amazes me that they could exhibit the full range, of cars, when the rest of the 'Ford' world was screaming for them. Here in NZ, the A first went on display in May 1928. We must have been down the pecking order a bit.

Model A's don't leak oil they just mark their territory.
