Anyone got a new car on order, most of those pictured are right hand drive.

Is that an orange Ibiza in the first picture?

 

[ZBOYD]

Yes, but its a van i think. Working vehicle, site security of something. Just a flat orange colour, i guess so it's noticed and not run over by trains.

LOL. That's the first thing I said to Z last night when he showed me the picture, but I asked if it was a Leon

 

[spyke85]

Thought they were copying the Focus ST/Fiat Punto's that all seem to have that colour now

 

[ZBOYD]

Looked t it a bit closer its a normal Ibiza not a new Inca van like i thought, however its the only Ibiza with a reg plate. I expect security or some site managers transport. It'll be a big site so they will have runarounds.

Ooooh, Spanish broad gauge and multi gauge too.

Dont ask!

 

[shefflad]

how can you tell they are right hand drive?

Look at the picture closely and you can see the steering wheels through the windows.

Silver Leon is RHD

First 2 Ibiza's are RHD, the others its difficult to say, but most doesn't mean all.

It's probably a worker's vehicle and coloured orange so it doesn't end up on a train to Barcelona by mistake

All them Ibiza's are right hand drive. Look what side the fog light is on Z!
