I spoke to a person in Johannesburg who bought a RHD 126  300SD from a
scrap dealer. Now these cars were never brought into South Africa and I
suspect that a RHD 300SD was never made at the factory . I suspect it
was a local conversion of a grey import. Does anyone know if the 300SD's
sold in Japan were RHD?

There was a problem fitting the steering box AND the turbo into the available space. Maybe some without turbos (OM603.91x) were made). Up through 1989 126.125 were ONLY sold in the US and all had left hand steering.
