Forum sponsor Lookers Park Royal can - contact James or one of the sales team, but I believe any UK Land Rover/ Range Rover dealer is required under EU consumer law to sell you a LHD car in the UK 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |

When someone I know asked about getting an LHD one they were told by the salesman they would have to go through Land Rover special vechicles, I don't really understand what's so special about a vechicle that comes off the same production line and has the steering wheel 3 feet to the left , I think it was most likely the salesman didn't know what he was on about!. |

If you are in Scotland I know that the dealership in Elgin can supply a LHD Land Rover very easily! 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |

Yep, we're fine with LHD........ They are ordered to Belgium Spec (closest to UK spec with LHD set-up) and then we add any missing UK bits to the profile. There is a small fee for LHD and we do take a higher deposit (as you can understand), but apart from that it's easy!

Hi all thanks for your help and suggestions, the reason why I posted the question in the first place was because I had gone to Harwoods in West Sussex and they stated that they could not supply me with a LHD R/R

All dealers can supply LHD. Some are obviously more comfortable to do so that others!

Is there any reason why some wouldn't?, when a friend asked he was told he would need to speak to Land Rover special vechicles which seems a bit strange to me seeing as they come off the same production line. |

Coz they are scared stiff that the buyer will back out of the deal at the last minute. It will be easier to buy LHD in London/SE than in darkest Wales because that is where the highest sales are going to be with foreign visitors, however as I said earlier the LR dealer in Wick/Inverness has supplied not only a LHD RRS to a friend of mine who lives in Belgium but he's now also sold 3 LHD D4's to that guy's brother in law as well! They can be bought and as James said he would want a bigger deposit - I think that some of the other dealers who shy away from selling them also want you to take something they already have in their group/local stock. Have you tried contacting LR Tax Free sales dept? 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |
