The cricket commentator Brian Johnston used to say that in all his many visits to India he had never been able to work out which side of the road they drive on!

Thus we have remained stubbornly left-hand drivers and long may it remain so...

Precisely. The global rule of the road was "keep left" long before there were cars, in a right-handed world it's the natural way. Similarly the first cars were all right-hand drive, it was Henry Ford who decided to shift the steering wheel to the left and other makes eventually followed. Lancia didn't make a left hand drive car until the fifties.

My advice: if Mrs. Norfolk Phil happens to be left-handed keep it as it is, otherwise convert it to the proper side!
