I would love an old classic VW or RS2000 like the one listed earlier on this thread.

As for driving on the left, it is actually the correct side of the road to drive on and im going to tell you why.

In the times of Dick turpin and the other great highway robbers they always used to hold the stage coaches up from the left hand side of the road. Basically the reason that they did this was so they could pull their gun with their right hand.
