Hello,
The WOCs were made in Birmingham it appears, alongside the English cars and re-badged Willys Overland Crossley presumably in Berlin. The reason I say this is because some very good friends of mine, who live in Sweden, have one and its numbers are only a handful away from my (1936) 4 seat tourer which is a UK car. They were NOT conversions to left hand drive, being built with unique factory-pressed body parts such as the floor panel, though I cannot be certain about all the year dates. The engine was entirely convention and not reversed, unlike the American cars and the brake parts were also unique and this uniqueness is reflected too in that they used the pre-1930 uncoupled handbrake part, but in a coupled system! I have copied this message to the Olssons, who I am sure will contact you.
