The brand-new LHD V8 was (maybe still is) a Rover 75 V8 saloon (so automatic), for sale in the Netherlands. In France there are currently two LHD MG 260s for sale, a saloon in Burgundy (see http://www.lacentrale.fr/auto-occasi...-20493697.html ) at 18K euros and a virtually new estate in the Savoie at 32K euros (see http://deltasavoie.com/ and search for MG). The estate was sold off when MG Rover Italy was liquidated and was bought by this ex MGR dealer, who also has what I believe to be the only MG SV in France. Good luck!
