Not Ireland

I can't remember for certain (it's been a long time since I went there) but I think this country usually has LHD cars.

Sweden?  They used to drive on the left.

They did (until about 1968) but all their cars were always LHD...

Okay, before this gets sent to the BH - This is a one-off home made vehicle from Iceland which is named after the man who built it. It's a fairly typical Icelandic name...
