What other cars have lefthand threaded wheel nuts?

[jamieandthemagic]

My 1971 Alfa Giulia GT junior has lefthand threaded wheel nuts on the near side.

After some different nuts and actually wondered what other older classics also suffer this idiosyncrasy.

It always confuses the hell out of tyre fitters.

Transits always had different threads on n/s or o/s , very confusing changing wheels .

Most heavy commercials have LH threads on the N/S...As does my Bentley Turbo RL.

Late 60's / early 70's Dodge, Plymouth and Chryslers. Rolls and Bentley up to late 80's.

all cars with knock on wheels (Ok, spinners rather than nuts...)

It's more fun when they don't.

I had a 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 sprint with L/H thread on the left.
My 1971 GTV however had conventional threads.

Aston DBS V8 and V8 range up to 1990. Not sure about the Virage which followed.

Austin Gipsy 4x4 ( 1958-68 ) the " Most Underated 4x4 By Far" had them.

Not a car, but some old Bedford vans. Type used for Ambulances. Nobody told ambulance driver. Patient died.

When i was on the Driving course at Crewe in 1990, the Seraph/Arnage series were still LH/RH threads
Not sure what happened after the split but would imagine it is still current

Some early 60's Fiats.

End of each wheel bolt were usually marked' S' or 'D'

I think Bentley took rh threads, RR took the lh threads

Must say, I was once asked by someone about my car. They'd never heard of a car made by "Undo"! Of course, spinners are handed, but I hope I live to see the day once more when an E-type and its wheel part company because they've been put on the wrong side.

That's a bit like the mechanic who asked why my engine was requesting 0170 spec oil. As he'd never heard of it............... So I pointed out he was reading the Italian "OLIO" upside down.

What a muppet.
