In one of your columns you gave advice to someone who wished to buy a used LH drive car here for use on the Continent. I have friend who needs to do this, preferably a Citroen, Peugeot or Renault for use in France. I should be most grateful if you could repeat the information.

What used to work when sterling was strong does not work any longer now that sterling is weak because it costs LHD dealers 40% more to buy stock from mainland Europe. The only LHDs likely to be cheap are distress sales. The Left Hand Drive Place at Daneshill near Basingstoke is still worth a look, though
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
