Why does the Mini UK Configuration Tool show a Left hand drive car!

When you configure a car on the UK site it shows a left hand drive car. Is there something I'm missing here? Even the Australian site is left hand drive. How much could it possibly cost to show cars with their steering wheels on the correct side...

They're gently trying to guide you folks into driving on the correct side of the road

Could be because a majority of MINIs are sold in countries which drive on the correct- er- right side of the road.

Wonder how I would feel using the configurator in the UK. The country the original Mini came from. Second class perhaps?

I noticed that also. A number of us here seem to notice such things. Attention to detail, personally I believe we need more of it, but I'm usually told, nobody cares anymore.
