What did Sweden do with all the wrong-sided steering wheels after Högertrafikomläggningen?

score:15

Most cars actually had left-side steering even before the switch.

Most imported cars were from countries with left-side steering. Cars made in Sweden kept this, as people were used to it, and it easier to export the cars.

Here is a picture from the day of the switch, with people driving into Stockholm to try driving on the other side. Of the four cars you can see clearly, all are left-hand steered.

The entire park of buses, however, had to be renewed, which was partially financed by a special vehicle tax (it also paid for all other practical work to be done during the switch).

The information can be found here, a page from the association of Swedish bus companies.

I found the picture here. There are also other pictures from the switch, for those interested.
