Recently a new member stated he had a Euro. spec. 560SL in Canada. Everything I have read indicates there is no European 560SL. It was only sold in Japan, Australia, and North America. I posed the question to the Classic Center. The response confirmed no 560SLs offered in Europe. Confirmed only Japan, Australia, and North America. In Japan they could be ordered in Left or Right hand drive.
Not to split hairs....but it was only Okinawa that was under US control and switched back to left in 1978.
"Okinawa was under control of the United States and made to drive on the right. Okinawa changed back to driving on the left when it was returned to Japan. The change took place on July 30, 1978. "
