I am rather surprised that they made them in right hand drive. I imagine that there was only a fairly small number made in either handed drive.

Here's a link to Redback's site with a copy of a story about Tassie Spiders.

It does mention build quantities, but I'm still unclear about how many L/R steer cars were produced.
