After the 2nd W.W. as there were no nice cars in Japan, the higher prestige cars came from Germany, Italy and America. These all being LHD caused driving on the wrong side in Japan to become a status symbol. This still stands today. You can get cheaper models in RHD but expensive cars such as Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Rolls Royce, High end Mercedes, etc. are almost 100% LHD in Japan. LHD Japanese cars imported from the States also tend to fetch a premium in Japan.
We've supplied a few RHD Aston Martins back to the UK in the recent past and did return quite a lot of MG RV8's to UK when they were still mint, but in general, European cars rarely get imported back to Europe from Japan.
