RHD = Right Hand Drive as in UK Australia Japan
LHD = Left Hand Drive as in USA and Europe

If it has no bonnet bulge I presume it has dellortos and thus was not an orginal USA delivery car. If LHD then would have been a European delivery car oringinally. My reference books are back in Australia and not with me as I am travelling in Germany visiting family so cant check the "K". Though Santa is bringing me a few new Lotus Books for christmas I believe !!!
