Malta, Ireland (and Cyprus?) has right hand drive cars so it's entirely possible to get a rhd euro import.

The original owner could have ordered this as RHD in Europe and driven it back to the UK and imported it. My father-in-law did this with his Subaru. Drove it from the showroom in Europe to the UK and saved him a fortune.
