Refining that slightly....COB cars were RHD cars for the British (home) market, and COX cars also came out of the AC factory doors, but were LHD cars for the continental European market.
That's generalizing as I think I remember there were a couple of cars that broke those rules.
Incidentally, nice venue there at Villa d'Este
