Alternator Silverstreak Question

Is the steering wheel on the right side of all of these? I bought one off eBay and the box was in a different language so I don't know if they changed the mold for countries where they drive on the other side of the road.

The mold was only changed to have the wheel on the left for the countries outside of Japan. Although that was caught a bit late, as the first versions still had the wheel on the right side.

From memory I think my Silverstreak has it's steering wheel on the left too, which is a shame because Australians drive on the Left hand side of the road, thus the Drivers sits on the right hand side of the car.

But since almost all model cars (even including Hot Wheels) are the same it is no real biggy.
