Wow this car has been around!
You say you purchased it at JL auto in the UK. Well Harlow Jap Auto has this exact same car for sale on it's website in its soon to arrive stock section
http://www.harlow-jap-autos.co.uk/soon.html
Then the video you posted was from GlobalAuto which is a car buyer here in Japan which means that within the last year this car has gone from the initial owner to Global Auto to Harlow Jap Auto to JL Auto and finally to you.
If you bought it for 14,000 and this car has changed hands 4 times now and has been shipped from the Japan to the UK this car was initially worth half the price you paid.
I would also ask whomever is selling you the car if second gear is grinding because it sounded like it in the video.
Not trying to burst your bubble but trying to make sure you know what you are getting before you get it.

^ Looks like we got a real pro here guys.
Lets just leave his happy little (behind) to figure it all out alone. It's not like we have any knowledge or experience to offer him anyway.
Oh, and good luck with drive-thru's skippy.

Fact: You are copping an attitude with members who are trying to give you a head's up.
Fact: Unknown engine condition.
Fact: Importing these vehicles from other countries is very hard (and overly expensive).
Fact: You are stupid for going to such lengths to (try to) import a car for the pure novelty of it being Right Hand Drive (and don't even deny it, ricer).
Assumption: You know more than the rest of us.
I originally pointed out some discrepancies between what you said, and what was presented (aka, it's coming from the UK, yet the vid was from Japan). That was not done to dog on you, just to point it out incase you were unaware. I'm typically pretty nice to newbs, until they cop an attitude, now I am going to be less inclined to help you out.
And the Drive-thru comment is absolutely legit. I bought my 7 in the states, and now live in the UK with it. I've got first hand experience with driving a car in a country where the steering wheel is on the "wrong" side. I've got both a right-hand drive car, and a left-hand drive car, the RHD one is much more convenient here.
Pull your head out of your *** kid.

What we have then is some rich, ignorant, kid who thinks (knows) that mommy and daddy will buy them everything, and all the cute girls he wants to put his pee-pee in like imports.
Didn't even need to hand him the shovel. lol.
