My only guess is that the owner had some physical issue that made this more comfortable.
Maybe the spot on the left is where you stow the wheelchair or something.

I've seen that too, and I don't get it either.
At least it wasn't an air-cooled that he hacked up.

But I would have scaled down the side (central) column for balance. What I have thought about is moving my 911 shifter from central to right of the drivers seat (RHD).... 917 style. Easy enough to do with a cable shift setup but getting in and out would be a pain.
