    Are they Left Hand or Wrong Hand drive?

      Most likely left hand. Most people driving right hand are looking for low cost/3rd hand cars.

      I think you meant right hand or wrong hand... The correct vehicle for Tortola roads are right hand drive vehicles...We drive on the left side of the road here.
