Had the same disappointment when I travelled to the UK twenty years ago. I learned that most were exported to North America. For example, there were only eight TR8's ever produced for the UK. In the last few years some Brits have been importing LBC's back from NA and converting them. The one exception is the Mini Cooper. Understand there's a fellow in Calgary who brings the Coopers over here.
