RHD Legacy wagons are pretty common. They were used, not by the government, but by contracted private mail carriers in rural areas. I *believe* anybody could buy them if you wanted to order one, but I'm not positive.


Perfect twin turbo swap candidates. But most are pretty beat up and some of the RHD trim, like door panels, can be hard to replace.

You're exactly right. My neighbor ordered his in RHD direct from the dealer.

There are Canadian importers for all kinds of older rhd cars, though this is probably a postal wagon.
