Has some interesting facts in it that I hadn't read befor so I thought I would share

Edit: just reread it and it appears that Andy Schmidt from 914World contributed to the article. Is that @sirandy or someone else?

i reckon they are drawing a kind of all in one mirror drawing phillsteck - when it comes to the fuel tank, similar to the two steering wheels in the same drawing.
both would have had bulbs, but mirrors of each other.

its a purist car.

the only thing they would not have been able to mirror would have been the battery location in the engine bay.

know what you mean about the floor pan.

the seats are fascinating.
i'd go so far as to say the original idea was the way they first came out and they would do the rhd as a flip. but they were grappling with the idea of a perfectly balanced car with only a driver in it,,,, like a race car. so rhd was a challenge.



i'd love to see some more drawings from the archive on rhd.
