Got REALLY lucky and scored this really cool Australian-export Right-Hand Drive 1957 Oval. The history is pretty cool on these Complete Knock-Down (CKD) cars that were shipped to Australia in kit form and final assembled over there to avoid import duties. It really needs nothing to be a nice driver, and would be pretty straightforward to make it a show-worthy car. Had to work on the brakes a little and some fuel system cleanup, but it was not bad at all and only took a weekend and to get it rolling again. No rust at all and still has some of the OG paint left on it (I think). |

No doubt it's very different, but not too hard to get comfortable driving it around. It's a little bit tricky to shift gears left-handed. The hardest (scariest) part is pulling into a tight parking space. I can't really tell exactly how close the left front fender is to things. |
