Body:
Yes RHD does mean Right hand drive.It apparently is one of seven imported into Australia with a view to seeing how they would sell.The story is that the falling Australian dollar killed them off as well as the U.S factory price.<br> They were converted to RHD with a Rover 3500 steering rack.The windscreen wipers were also changed over.A KMH speedo is fitted.<br> The car is Keweenau white with blue top and interior.<br> I think it was the second last 1989 made (Sandy?) VIN 1FABP40E1KF243667<br> The car was purchased in 1995 with 873 Km on the clock.It now has 150,000 km and is still as good as ever except for this weeks replacement of the steering rack.<br> When purchased the car had aftermarket mags on it,the whereabouts of the originals is unknown.<br> The car now has new mags as the first set cracked and were irreparable.<br> The car won a silver award in the 1996 Australian Mustang concourse and has won numerous other prizes even though it is a daily driver.<br> It is quite funny here as not many people know what the car is and even one fellow was so taken by the car he crashed into the gutter and almost a parked car.<br> We have seen one other Keweenau white car she also lives in Sydney as well as at least two of the Blue cars though their current whereabouts are unknown to us.<br> Will dig out the photos and post them soon.<br> SEE YA <br> DOUG<br> SYDNEY AUSTRALIA<br> 1989 ASCMcLAREN R.H.D
