Truly do not know how to answer.
Maybe they just found it easier to leave it as it was.?
Weight always needs to be distributed from what I have read & experienced .
You made me think, Did Shelby build a right hand drive Cobra?

Shelby didn't, but AC did

    O.k., well now you've got me wondering something I really hadn't given any real thought to previously, as my comment was based on typical American car manufacturing practice; so now the thought is: so what have say, the British been doing since their vehicles start out as right-hand drivers for the home market, but for export they have offered many of the same models as a left-hand driver example?  I guess I could start by going out and measuring my TVR (sold off the Jags!  ) which currently is a right (wrong!  ) - hand driver but they were obviously offered as left ("right", correct, proper!  ) - hand also.  Though this example may prove not typical as TVR having been a low production example manufacturer probably wouldn't have incurred the expense of creating a "lefty" and then a separate "righty" chassis anyway?
