Rare find?

That's pretty cool. The 'X' models are offered on the continent and in the States where they have cold weather long enough to justify the need for AWD. Over here some would argue (myself included) that our short-lived winters really don't represent a market for them, so they were never sold here afaik.
That appears to have had a LHD/RHD conversion at some point? I wonder how easy it would be to get spares? Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

I can't remember if it was BMW but I'm pretty sure it was. One manufacturer would offer their continental cars to the UK in a right hand drive format, suitable for the UK roads for a substantial amount more than a typical UK equivalent "off the shelf" model.

It is and isnt rare (like the E30 324TDS) there is "plenty" on the continent. I didnt think they made them over here due to the 4x4 stuff fouling the steering system on RHD so they stayed LHD

Reminds me of the 4x4 citroen AX. It was never sold here because of climate.
Or the mk2 Golf Country

BULL SHIT. Get the running gear and stick it on another Peugeot.  Basically, that means he doesn't want to sell it.
