RHD or LHD not withstanding, this would be an attempt at a "Grey Market" importation. My understanding is that though the true grey market of the 80's was put out of business, somehow it can still be done. The documentation, lawyers stupid upgrades (it doesn't have a seat belt buzzer! Put it back on the ship!) and raw money necessary would render this impractical. The only people doing this are importing Ferrari F50's and the like. A half million dollar car makes the legal junk almost worthwhile.
