ETA damn, too slow!

I believe, even up until the 90s, it was not uncommon for cars to be ever so slightly asymmetrical by accident rather than design.

Hyundai Veloster? That only has a rear door on one side if memory serves. ETA: already posted!

I have asymmetrical OCD with cars, I admit, but don't mind the OP Jag one bit! Or the Disco for that matter.

What was that weird Renault thing from the 70s (not the 4 & I appreciate it could describe half their then range).

It had round headlights iirc.

I've often wondered how cars would have developed it cars had been consistant over the world re the steering wheel (side) location.

I thought of several older Renaults with the wheelbase different side to side

iirc it;s rear suspension torsion bars positioned behind on behind another but with equal length arms to the hubs ... meaning the hub of the wheel on the rearmost torsion bar is severla inches further back than the other

Unless your car has 2 steering wheels, one in front of each front seat, and two sets of pedals, doesn't that make it asymmetrical?
