It seems to have everything a Vogue SE should have , but surely it will still be classified as an import although you say UK LHD car .......

If it is a UK spec LHD then the headlights will be LHD dip pattern and not UK/RHD pattern and you will need to replace them for an MOT. A friend of mine over on RRS has A UK Spec LHD RRS and recently it came back to the UK because it has to come over from Belgium regularly to avoid Belgium taxes, it is still on UK plates and he had to buy my cast-off spare set of RRS units which were RHD pattern to pass the MOT. The problem isn't the switches that you change over for foreign driving, it is the shape of the beam, which has a "flat" area that is in a different position depending on left or right hand drive and the switches are only a temporary change. For a replacement set of RHD adaptive headlights you are looking at somewhere in the region of £1300, I can check and see what the RRS set cost me 18 months ago, but they are not cheap 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |

it would be so much easyer if i was in the UK !!! You have no idea how hard buying any kind of decent car is in Spain. You cant find anyhting out anywhere, its hard to find a decent MAIN dealer and you cant get anyone to look at them for you as they dont know what they are looking at !!!

Cheers mick but it is about 5 or more hours away from me, im in Murcia. The main dealers here are REALLY bad, check this out www.landroverhell.com , it shows just how bad LAND ROVER SPAIN can be. Its the main reason i want a UK LHD car. Ive had the same problems with my RS4, Merc SL65 AMG. It seams ANYTHING with more than 200hp and a PROPPER motor or anything seamd as luxary is a problem out here |
