From the dash layout it looks as if you could put the steering wheel on the right (sorry about the pun!) side.

Didn't the Swedes use to drive on the left?

It is nice that one. Worth at least double or triple here...

Yes, they did have left hand traffic in Sweden until the late 60's I think. But for some strange reason, the cars used to be left hand drive as well.

Swedish logic still confuses me!

I thought they phased it; all cars with a "even" number in the reg plate did it first , cars with "odd" numbers the following week, and comercials were about a month later?
