Perhaps the most unusual US import I've spotted in the UK is this Merc W202 C Class. I probably wouldn't have been able to tell if it didn't have the small plate space! Even the UK square plates don't go well on this car- notice the boot lock is partly covered up by the plate! Oh dear!
This is a recent import, and I can only assume the owner brought it over from America, as there's loads of these in the UK, or if they really wanted LHD, surely it'd be cheaper to import from continental Europe! The owner must have a strong emotional attachment.
Also nicely notable in this picture is the 3rd brake light, which wasn't fitted on European spec pre-facelift W202s.
Only imported in October last year, I was really happy to see this car. Unfortunately no frontal shot.
