Interesting insight
What happens here in Australia we get cars from California LHD that have failed their smog tests sell cheap and finish up here, worth very little and hard to sell.
Here we can drive LHD cars once they are 30 years old but its a pain sitting on the wrong side.
There there are those and there is one in particular came from the US its an 89 Carrera converted after it was just three years old by the main Australian importer.
Gu cannot sell it even at 60% the average asking price of an Aussie delivered car.
Then the English are higher spec but they have to have intrusion bars seat belts etc before they are registered and then a Big plarque attached , imported vehicle.
In some ways the Grey cars age just as good and insome instances better higher spec and the sun isnt as harsh.
This grey import senerio seems most prevalant with Prosche other marques not so much so.
Cheers
