While the great majority of C-V8s were made in right-hand drive (RHD), ten were made in left-hand drive (LHD). The car was one of the fastest production four-seaters of its era. The Mk II, capable of 136 mph (219 km/h), ran a quarter-mile (≈400 m) in 14.6 seconds and accelerated from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 6.7 seconds. [ 3 ]
Despite prototypes being built in left-hand drive, production versions of the Ambassador were only built in right-hand drive form and thus were not exported to continental Europe. Just 14 Ambassadors remain taxed and on the roads in Britain in 2023, out of 43,500 built; compared to around 225,000 for the Princess.
Just under 19,000 cabriolets were produced from 1970-1975, of which 836 were produced in right hand drive and imported into the UK. [3] Of these, all but 244 were the "S" versions. [ 3 ] The more powerful 304 S was introduced in March 1972 and became the only version of the cabriolet after July the same year.
There were 50 right-hand drive cars (RCR 90) built especially for the UK with the SB2 kit and 90 hp (67 kW). Additionally, Brabus built 7 left-handed cars (RCR 90) for the rest of Europe and only 12 cars of the RCR 101 were altogether built left-handed by Brabus with the real Brabus 101 HP engine. One prototype and 11 numbered cars.
Twenty-nine cars were manufactured for the purpose of crash-testing and homologation. Also, a partially completed right-hand-drive Qvale Mangusta was shown at the British Motor Show in October 2000 and was later sold as street legal in Europe. Eighteen cars were sold new in Europe. [8] Overall, 284 cars were sold.
These kits were built up and converted to right-hand drive. The conversions involved a brand new dash, right-hand drive wipers, and a steering column. These cars had a list price of £4995, which meant they were the cheapest new cars on sale in Britain between 1998 and 2001. Ledbury-built Maestros all had non-Rover VIN numbers.
Luxury Is Calling. One man’s trash is very often another man’s treasure on eBay, which has been selling head-scratching items since 1995. But eBay is a place for a lot more than just cheap ...

Both had been developed under the Renault code name L42, and were designed by Robert Opron. [3]
