Can anyone tell me why the majority of the historic sports cars at Montlhery, were right hand drive?
Virtually every Bugatti (including Brescias), Alfa Romeo and Amilcar were RHD despite, the majority being French owned and registered.
More easily answered by an oldie like me. The reason is simple. Back in the days when those cars were made, the UK was far wealthier than the peasant economies of countries like France and Switzerland and Italy. We had more wealthy men interested in motor racing and cars.
I saw exactly the same thing at Classic le Mans where maybe half the old cars bore UK registration numbers.
