Talk Morgan Forums Community Vehicle Talk (non-Morgan) Right Hand Drive

Lancia were predominantly right hand drive up until, I think, WW2. I can't find the date but it was probably optional for a period. I have been told that it was so that the driver could better see the edge of the road when edging past another vehicle on narrow mountain roads.

Another advantage is that when parking the driver can easily exit on the side away from passing traffic.

PS. I have just found that the Lancia Aurelia B20 was only available in RHD from its initial model in 1951 until 1954.

PPS. Another Lancia peculiarity The Lancia Lambda of the 1920s is right hand drive, typical of the Lancia and its time. The accelerator pedal was in the centre of the pedalboard and the brake on the right.
