Hi Kev, congrats on the interest in your car (I really must try harder!! lol). I sold my old SVT Lightning to a chap from Germany and it went swimingly. I took a deposit over paypal to ensure he wasn't a time waster and informed him that the transaction was only to be cash money (to quote Gas Monkey) paid into the local bank - he arrived after banking hours and that wasn't my problem, he wouldn't get the car. In the event I collected him from Stansted Airport, he gave the truck the once over (quote "it's better than you advertised, I'm very happy!" and then we toddled off to the local Barclays branch where I paid in the monies. That done I took the "permanent export" bit of the V5, filled it in, did the whole 'sales receipt bit' gave him the keys and watched him drive off into the distance <sob sob>.

As for the why... they are a lot more expensive over there. I guess expensive to the point where it being RHD doesn't matter anymore - plus it's no problem driving on the 'wrong' side of the road tbh, I'm currently doing that with my Mustang
