Who owns a Right Hand Drive Model A???

I would like to see the engine compartment both sides to know how are the linkages operate.

Plus anyone with an Australian built 1930 Phaeton let’s chat.

here we are - a 1930 RHD phaeton (not Australian built though- this one actually built in Canada for export to New Zealand )

Hi John, that’s very helpful. Do you have a measurement of the two spark linkages and the throttle link? Also a close up of the starter switch connection would be great!

So your phaeton body is all steel sub rails, pans, etc?

Here's a photo of the AF engine in my RHD, UK built 1931:

I have 12 or 15 throttle linkages hanging on a wire in the shed.Somebody was going through them,and found an oddball.It turns out to be for a RHD car.I don't have a clue where I picked it up,it could have been there for 25 years.It clamps to the steering column.While I really have no use for it,I always had the idea I might use the column clamp part to run a cable or switch for a horn,whistle,bell,etc.It'll get used at some point,whether it is by me or somebody else.It will never go in the scrap.

I have a small collection of photos of the driver's side of RHD cars. I also own one as well. (It's a 1928 Phaeton though.)

Happy to get more photos with my car if you need them.

There were few 1930 "Australian A Model tourers" produced and lucky to be a handful left. I'm familiar with the roadster from long ago. The body is a metal skin only over a wood frame. Even the doors are wood framed, as opposed to the 28/9 model.
The wood lasted about 5 years when exposed to the elements.

Yeah, it was also called the "Improved" A Model tourer.
