I've had three LHD cars over the years (Lancia Delta Integrale, one of the very first New Beetles....in yellow! and Alfa Sud!) .....never had a problem driving or overtaking in any of them....overtaking just requires a different technique to be safe...ish! Sure you do have to get out once in a while for tickets etc if you have no passenger....but so what.
Main problem with the one in the OP is that's its way too much money for a 100,000 mile car of that age with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

My G is LHD apart from joining a motorway there's no problems at all.

For sale in Slough. Why am I not surprised...
Doesn't mention who did the remap, either. Maybe it hasn't actually had one?

For stingy people. Just buy the RHD version.
They didn’t make them in RHD

The UK didn't get 4WD on the W212 E63. The steering column and transfer case is in the way on RHD cars..
Solved on the W213 E63
Re the LHD one above, overpriced for the mileage and I wouldn't touch a LHD car when there are so many RHD cars available.
I sold a 36k mile 64 plate RHD for less than that!

I was not being that serious......! But people do make out that driving a LHD on UK roads is a much bigger problem then it is in reality....

I did this when we lived in Skiathos.
We had a RHD W202 which I drove over, Olympic holidays gave me a little Suzuki LHD and we had a scooter (which was neither).
We never had a problem but Skiathos only has one long road with a few junctions, no roundabouts and one set of lights that never worked.
