Is it really Left Hand Drive or has some enterprising individual reversed the photo. I wouldnt imagine the parts were ever made for a left hand drive version of the dash. I could be wrong of course, but as the cars were only ever sold new in Japan and New Zealand (I think), there wouldnt have ever been demand for LHD.

    Well, Im thinkin its genuine. The first photo you can see the pedals, and they are the right way around...

      One more give away is the handbrake is still at the same spot. I think there was another LHD FTO in China. James found that.
