My Dad had a '59 Jaguar that really did have a Positive 'Earth' System. Lucas Electrics. Now I know why the Brits drink warm beer... [Their fridge is broken].
I have several old Triumph motorcycles…the Brits were correct….

Technically, the current in a circuit travels from the negative terminal to the positive terminal (since that’s the path of the traveling electrons which are negative).

You can blame or credit Ben Franklin (who knew nothing about electrons, protons, etc.) for the Yankee definition of current flow from positive to negative.
