In England where people drive on the wrong side of the road, is the gearbox also upside down ?

Question

Since the steering wheel is on the right side I wonder about the gearbox, is it European or specially turned around for English cars ?

Answer 1

No.  It is in the same position as an American style car.

Answer 2

right and they look out the back too and drive in reverse

Answer 3

All the same, only the steering wheel is on the right.

Another fun thing is that all Japanese cars are specialy build with the steering on the left (for us, right side drivers), as in japan they also drive on the left( wrong side) side of the road having all toyotas and so standard the steering wheel on the right side.

So Tokio motorshow (one of the biggest) shows mainly righthand cars.

Who is wrong and who is right?
