I wonder if that's a Shelby designed car? It's the right time era.

You do know some countries use right hand drive cars and drive on the left side of the road.

Sure, but the gearshift would normally be to the left of the driver in those countries.

It was originally designed as an endurance race car for 24-hour races. Hence, the two seats and mid-car steering.

for future reference, what would the endurance race have to do with needing the driver positioned in the center of the car?

Since it was a road course having the driver centered made for a better balance for the suspension to work in the curves.

so, like an Indy car. so much for the balance if you have someone riding in the shotgun seat, though.
