It might be a little late for this one, considering it’s going across the auction block today, but this 1952 Crosley-based “Bogus Lotus,” selling at the same auction as the 1956 Crosley-based H-Mod, looks like a fun ride. Can anybody answer me why many of these Crosley-based racers were switched to right-hand drive? From the seller’s description:

The car shown is not a Lotus, it is the one and only “Bogus Lotus.” This car raced in the West Coast in the 1960s with a Crosley engine for power. It was rediscovered in 1987 in a small shed in Riverside, California. Since then, it has been restored for vintage racing.
