I don't know what you mean about feet? Mine (Size 11) fit just fine in my (left-drive) Mini onto standard pedals. Always have, except I found the toes of cowboy boots tend to snag on things under the parcel shelf.

To clarify, what I meant was "The idea of the ergonomics being better for right than left hand drive vehicles...."

Someone needs to go away and think about their feet for a while.

deb/kd..  guess it was same color cooper s. that was in Magog..  maybe the one from Texas.. ?? later bc

In response to Bill's question to Mike . That car was not at Magog. No California cars were at Magog. Furthest car was Pooh. Rick Higgs...That car needs a respray and all the panels need to be sprayed a the same time.  The difference of colour of the doors and boot are obvious...

Whoa! now THAT sounds like the troll!

That reminds me I actually owned a RH drive vehicle - a Jeep previously owned by Canada Post as a mail delivery vehicle. It was a weird beast with a big 4-cylinder engine (compared to Mini lumps) and an automatic transmission controlled by a short lever sticking out of the dash. Then transmission had 2 fwd speeds, neutral and reverse, but no "park". It had one seat and had lost its hard-top body in favour of a 2-seat ragtop. Never drove it on the road and sold it on for about what I paid.  

I don't trust people that like LH drive Minis... shows bad judgement.. what else do they have bad judgement on

And I always thought it was like earrings on guys " Left is correct, right is wrong." I'm just more comfortable on the left. I have owned and driven classic minis for 50 plus years. Many of my customers have wrong hand drive (right) minis. I drive them also but prefer LHD. Maybe it's just what you like or are comfortable with. Over the years I have placed third in NE, first SE, and fifth at SCCA national solo 2. First, in class at two Jefferson 500s, FTD at a few Mini Meets. I believe I'm faster on the left. Other's results may vary. Steve (CTR) 
   
 

• Years ago when I question about driving on the wrong side of the road I was told there is no wrong side - only left and right.  It is the same with steering.  The '67 Mk1 Austin Cooper 'S - 1275cc (project I have and for sale) came from the factory LHD, North American Export.  It was built on 10 Oct 1966, dispatched to Philadelphia on 17 Oct 1966.  It was then sold as a 1967.

I agree with Dan, All manufacturer imported mini's into North America were Left hand drive, including Ohio. The rest are just gray market vehicles. Ouch!

I don't think that is the case, though I hope he realizes what he sounds like. That's why I originally referred to them as weak "humour", trying to give him the benefit of the doubt!

The flaws in the logic are:
1. Both left hand and right hand Minis were produced on the same production lines by the same workers in the same plants.
2. All Minis bodies were made so that the steering, pedals and heater connections for left or right could be installed without ANY modification to the body.
3. Early Minis had a central instrument pod and switch panel which are equally accessible form either side. The later 2 or 3 clock pods ahead of the steering wheel are the same for left or right hand cars.
4. The idea of the ergonomics being better for right than left is about as ludicrous as saying right handed people are better than lefties. (I would counter the ergonomics argument by saying that a majority of drivers are right-handed, so logic would suggest that most of the controls not on the steering column should be accessible to their favoured hand. Since the gearshift, shift, handbrake and assorted standard switches are all in the middle on a Mini, a left-drive Mini is more ergonomically appropriate for the vast majority of drivers. I doubt strongly that the majority of British drivers are lefties.)

MY Mini is a real Mini, built in the 1980's at Longbridge and happens to be a left-hand drive version as factory built.

I do agree, in spite of all this angst and automotive transmisogyny, Minis should not be switched, especially rare or collectible ones. 

Somebody wants to be a USPS mail carrier......

the only people complaining are people that drive LHD Minis, oblivious to how that is wrong, and to double down, they try and defend it.

OMG 

Dan...you may be right.  This could be a new identity for that troll .  He would make similar idiotic statements.

I miss the clamshell.

people that complain about LHD only comments realize how bad RHD drive is but won't admit it.

My thoughts exactly. RHD! RHD! RHD!

Jeezus. Why all the hate. If if was made as LHD for the European or US market, then it's factory original. Leave it the heck alone. 

I still wouldn't swap over an original North American spec LHD Cooper, S, or a Moke. I wouldn't change the signal lights to yellow either. Inspite of what some of my friends in the UK said, when I had my LHD 997 Cooper over there I continued to run all red lights on the rear and white turn signals on the front as well as retaining the original LHD. Wouldn't change it over there and damn sure wouldn't change it over here. It only caused me issues over there when I would play musical Minis and occasionally drive it to work. Run outside and climb in on the wrong side...Dang!
