Ford produced cars with both left and right hand drive. Obviously many sold in the UK were RHD. Many US servicemen have shipped LHD cars to the UK as well. Given how involved the process was, I doubt any of them bothered to change their cars to RHD. In the case of the Ford Phaeton, it even involved a right hand fuel tank, in addition to hand brake lever, etc.
Besides, changing it over to RHD reduces its coolness factior, so there’s really no reason to.
In spite of what some knuckleheads on my team claimed, driving RHD takes no additional skill. You can do it right away. We had RHD Mitsubishis and Hiluxes.They were lazy and didn’t want to drive them no matter what. I found it easy. They tried to say left hand stick shift was easier for me because I’m left handed. How ridiculous is that?
