Back in the "good old days" the wand, on RHD cars, was on the right, so that the left hand was free to change gear. On LHD cars it was the other way round. We have the EU to thank for forcing the "indicate on the right" rule.

So, for all RHD Morgans a Mercedes wand on the right side would be just about perfect!! thumbs

Peter. All my cars, LHD, including the Morgan have the indicator/lights stalk on the left and the wiper stalk on the right. All the cars that I had in Australia, with the exception of the Maserati which was converted from LHD to RHD, had the indicator on the right, this included Japanese and Australian built cars.

I would be astonished if this was an EU rule. More likely that the manufacturers are saving a few cents by not making both LHD and RHD versions of their controls.
