Actually I believe the key on the left was from that tradition (and I honestly did not know any "real Porsche" had it on the right).
"The ignition key is on the left, a tradition carried from an era when Le Mans starts required drivers to run across the pit lane to their car, jump in and take off, fastening their harnesses as they headed onto the front straight."
Nice suit of cars. At one time or another, I had all of them all, except my KG was a 60 Coupe with a "B" normal engine.
