But apparently when I look at the ones in Sweden http://jensensverige.blogspot.com/2017/03/jensen-ff-mki-chassinr-119118.html , you're right. I must have been so distracted by the FF's I've seen that I didn't notice the steering wheel...

The FF AWD system encroached on the left side of the passenger compartment and resulted in it not being suitable for a left-hand drive set up, this meant that a US version of the car couldn’t be built, and it severely limited the export sales potential of the new car." from here. Same story from other sources. "All 320 FFs built were sold originally to RHD countries [Britain 298, RoI & NI 8, Channel Islands 7, Australia 1] apart from 3 to Switzerland, 2 to West Germany and 1 bought by GM in USA for evaluation" - info from Richard Carver webpage, now disappeared.
