I have started my search for a XJR (most probably XJR-6 after doing some research here and elsewhere....) Good (or any, in fact) XJR's are hard to find where I live, hence I figure there would be far more cars in the UK. But; are LHD cars hard to find, and where should I start to look...?

Thanks,
Chris

Since all of continetal Europe now drives on the right side of the road (72% of nations do) wouldn't the majority of European import Jags be left hand drive?

Check Germany, France, Netherlands, Etc, Etc.

True, however I travel frequently to the UK and so it would be more convenient than continental Europe. With the current XJR price level in the UK (and a possible even lower price of a LHD vehicle?) it would be interesting to see if anything comes up.
Still, I will also be checking websites for german/dutch/swiss/etc. cars as well.

Finding a LHD Jag in the U.K. maybe like finding hens teeth, fear not, someone here will know where to look.

Have you tried the Costa's in Spain?, many ex pats live out there and are the normal age group for an XJ. When they do come back to the UK the LHD cars are sold to Costa Dealers for the next set of ex pats to buy them

The market for LHD cars seems to have improved in the UK, I have looked around for LHD cars in the UK to use at our place in France and there doesn't seem to be that many around and some are priced higher than the RHD version .
