Last time we were in France with the TR we found a TR3a & Vitesse in 
the hotel car park one evening. Next morning we met the owners & had 
a chat. We discovered the 3a had been imported from the UK & 
converted to LHD. I suggested that the previous owner could have 
picked up a (cheaper) LHD car in the states & the owner told me that 
the car had originally been in the US, imported to the UK & converted 
to RHD, before going to France for a LHD conversion!

I certainly see LHD cars up for sale quite regularly in the UK, & I'm 
sure you could make a profit selling a RHD in the UK & taking back a 
LHD.
