The majority of roadsters were made in Paris in left hand drive with about 150 right hand drive cars being built in Slough. This car is an exception to the rule being a right hand drive Paris car and must therefore be one of a handful of `special order' cars built for export. Occasionally such cars were ordered by French natives in order to show off - a right hand drive car was thought to be more exotic, indeed some French marques such as Bugatti were only built in right hand drive.

Another unusual car - a Paris built right hand drive 11 Normale.  Walter Wynne Mason was a diplomat working in the New Zealand embassy in Paris. He took delivery of this car from the Paris factory himself. He later moved to Esher in Surrey in England where it was used as the family car for years.
