Default RHD Blazers

LHD vehicles are more familiar to people who live in RHD countries 'cause we see them in the movies all the time. Inote a few guys on the forum are curious about right hand drive blazers & decided to attach some pics of the interior.

That is so weird to see it like that! Also odd to note that the gas and brake pedal are in the same configuration as LHD.

What side of the road do they drive on in Belgium?

Belgium is the same as the rest of Europe - they drive on the right. So they will allbe LHD.I once drove from London (where they drive on the left) & arrived in France to find myself on the "other side" of the motorway. Weird feeling. Kept feeling as if something is wrong.

I think also, the ignition is on the right of the steering column.

I notice two things different...besides the whole RHD thing...the dash bezel and door handle trim...it's all that lighter color (bronze?)...did you do that or is that stock?

2nd: the seats...the plastic wraps all the way around and has that ledge on the front of the bottom of the seat...mine just stop at the front and it's cloth around the front.

And that's kinda blowing my mind to think about the driving from London to France....WHERE DOES THE LANE SWITCH SIDES?!?

The dash bezel came standard like this - why, I don't know as it kind of looks odd but after a while I got used to it. It was originally made for the Japanese market, maybe they like this sort of combo? When I was looking for a Blazer I liked one which was a goldy colour much like eurogolds one but I was put off by the bezel in immitation woodgrain.
The plastic wrap on the seats are standard.
Once off the ferry (this was before the tunnel opened) you drive out the terminal onto the right lane. You can't get it wrong.
