Spotted, an absolute gem of a classic 1969 Bedford motorhome for sale

I think when the vehicles became more "cross-market" and so built in RHD and LHD versions in multiple locations, the indicator moved over to the left "continental" side to suit the bigger market (The Steering Column set is built up as a whole and is just located in the appropriate place). The last car I recall owning with an indicator on the RHS was a 1969 Vauhall Viva - very much a RHD-only model.
I think the Japanese cars had it on the right for longer as they were sold into a primarily RHD market until quite a bit later?

As far as im aware Japanese cars still have them on the right,weve got an Isuzu flat bed at work that is on the right...unless its a direct import rather than European built and specced,maybe a current Jap owner can shed some light.
