On eBay there is a 1966 Triumph 1300 fwd, which it is stated is possibly the only one in the world that has a anti-clockwise/counter-clockwise engine. Is this true?
eBay no. 331629744862

I think it could be because of the starter motor which spins in the opposite direction due to being front mounted.

Hi no its not true, probably he has a normal Triumph starter fitted which would make the engine turn anti clockwise but its unlikely to start like this!
