Default RHD exports

Quote:
My best guess is that GM Priok imported Opels from Germany prior to the war (sep 39) and that they were converted to rhd locally.
Actually, I can confirm that Russelsheim and then Brandenburg Plants exported rhd vehicles around the world including to the UK. Exports of Blitz trucks to the UK started in 1935 Model Year and continued until 1939. So, this was indeed a FACTORY rhd chassis. The 1938-on Model Oly38 Olympia would also have been rhd, similar to the UK imports for instance. The chassis appears to be a P4 Lieferwagen 1,3-liter Model 396.
