Some Cadillacs have been sold as RHD. The Seville STS from the late nineties and more recently the CTS, STS and the large estate crossover one whose name I've forgotten. I'm also fairly sure the Hummer H3 has been sold here in RHD.
The Chevrolet Blazer and Ford Explorer have been too. I can't think for sure on any other Chevrolet or Ford models. The Camaro was tried at the same time as the Seville and Blazer but I think LHD only.
I cannot remember if the Corvette has been sold in RHD but it has been officially imported at the turn of the last decade and after a gap of a few years has been sold here recently.

Are there any actual US-cars, which were made as RHD-versions?
Yes, but you have to be a postal worker to get one. Some postal worker near me has an RHD version of a Jeep Wrangler, and it otherwise looks like your average civilian Jeep.
Plus, believe it or not Jeep CJ's, International Harvester Scouts, and Ford Broncos actually came with that option.

These were made for Postal Workers but were available to the public as well, My Neighbor bought a RHD Cherokee brand new (the dealership got it accidentally ) Also I know that the RHD Subaru wagons were available to purchase by the general public

Maybe I have some new informations. Yesterday I had my newest eBay-catch in the letterbox:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120610640805&ssPageName=STRK:M- EWNX:IT
O.k., let's go on search for the US-cars for the British market:
- Buick Riviera
- Cadillac Eldorado
- Chevrolet Vega Estate
- Ford Continental Mark IV
- Oldsmobile Toronado
- Pontiac Grand Prix
Oh, at all of them it's written "price to be announced", so maybe finally the import had not begun.
Also worth to mention are a few other cars, as they -as I think- were unusual for Britain:
- Datsun 240 C (o.k, also just an approx.price)
- Fiat 128 Estate (Familiare)
- Ford 20 M (P2b
- Mazda 1800
- Monteverdi 375 L GT
- Moskvich 427 Estate
- Opel Ascona 1.6 S
- Opel Manta Rallye
- Toyota Crown Estate
- Wartburg Knight MK IV
On the two pages between the Crown Estate and the Triumph Toledo an advertise:
"Once you've seen British Leyland, you've seen evertything."

Today I saw a Peugeot 505. It is probably less common here in Brussels than the non-imported US cars that I post here from time to time

(and that one had a French plate)
A Chevrolet Monte Carlo seen two or three weeks ago:
A Honda Odyssey:
Does it have such taillights in its US version? Because it was not sold here, so I do not know where it comes from... (note the narrow plate space)

Probably I've asked it before, but is there a possibility at the Belgian diplomatic plates to identify the country or the embassy, where the car belongs to?
16/09/2010 @ 22:39:25: antp: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
No, there is "CD" and then letters+numbers that do not have any link with original country I think.
It looks like there is a CZ sticker on the bumper, on the right, I did not notice when following the car. Maybe it is something else.

Ooh, you're right. I forgot about the Cherokee. I've seen some RHD ones myself. But this was a postal worker who drove it.
Antoine showed up the Honda Odyssey mini van, and it reminded me of something; I'd like to see a Honda Odyssey mini van towing a trailer with a Honda Odyssey ATV on it.

Anyone know what this is?

I drove behind a staircase last week on my way home from school:
(sorry about the image quality, it was raining heavily, and I took the picture with my phone while driving)
You don't see these on public roads everyday... It was a Renault Mascott, and it was heading for the airport, of course

It's a Rolls Royce. I'm not sure about the model. Silver Cloud maybe?

I saw a brand new Buick Regal today, I wonder what it was doing in Finland?
I didn't have a camera with me, but it looked almost 100% like the blue one in this picture, the same color and all:
(And I'm quite sure it wasn't an Opel Insignia, it had the Buick grille)

Yesterday I've seen something rare on the Autobahn A3. Named "Polar Express", a perfectly restored truck with a trailer for frozen stuff, both from the early 60ies.
The truck was a Scania-Vabis "without a nose" (sorry, I don't know the model-range. It had Dutch plates.

Cold weather testing, perhaps?
Wikipedia says that the Regal will be made in Canada starting in early 2011. (Currently, Regals for North American markets are made in Germany, while the Chinese version is of course made in China.) I'm just guessing, but perhaps the Canadian-made Regal will be different enough (because of locally-sourced parts) that it has to go through endurance testing like a new model.
