Eagler - I have plenty more pics. If you send me an email at
orangebeet1e@yahoo.co.uk I can send you the lot.

Don't know about the running boards, and my bug does not have reverse lights - see additional pic.
Puke - No, the pedals are the same. The accelerator is on the right, and the clutch is on the left with the brake in the middle. However, on some early Bentleys (c1920) the brake was on the left and the clutch was in the middle.
There are all sorts of things that need to be taken into consideration when adapting a car for right hand drive. The main annoyance is when the maker has not configured the windscreen wipers for RHD, and a large unswept area is left on the driver's side. Wipers on RHD cars need to rise up from the left in a clockwise motion as viewed from the driver's seat, so that the driver's side is swept clear. This means relocating the wipers. If you see a car and there appears to be a position for an extra wiper, that's the reason.
On the Bug, the speedo cable plugs into the front wheel. But on RHD models, an extension is needed because the drive unit has to be on the LEFT wheel in all cases, else the cable would rotate backwards.
Cobra - if by clear coat finish you mean "gloss", then yes. It's not metallic or anything like that.
This model had a stainless steel bumper attached at the back, and stainless steel tail pipes.
