    I think the driver’s wiper has that fancy mechanism to let it reach more of the top corner of the windscreen. This is necessary because they’ve left the wipers’ orientation configured for a left hand drive vehicle (to save them having to reverse the whole mechanism). I think.

    Fun (eh?) fact: the "aero slats" on the wingmirrors are not so much to reduce drag for improved mpg, they're actually designed to reduce buffeting in the gap between the mirror housings and the body. Thus further enhancing the air (boooo) of luxury and comfort for the affluent occupant. Besides let's face it: if you've got a massive V12 in a car big enough to potentially cause serious grieve should you end up sideways in the Suez, who's really going to give a toss about MPG anyway...
