What's the carb/air cleaner flux capacitor thing?

And what's with the tank in the trunk?

I was always amazed that they made RHD models of those cars... like GM thought the Japanese and British would jump on V8 beasts like these. It's hard to imagine that they'd sell enough to pay for all the additional stuff - dash, column, pedals, firewall... what a headache. European cars like the Mini and the VW had the dash in the center so it worked for right or LHD.

Great shots - thanks for posting!

I just noticed the middle one of the three tailights is amber colored.
Was that an Australian requirement?

Ha Ha the carb/air cleaner is a old gas (not petrol) conversion kit they used to use here in Australia
The tank in the boot is the gas tank
