All souvenir models of the mini from London souvenir shops, with union jack roof seem to be lefthand drive. I'm trying to find one that is authentically british.

If you live in the UK, the steering wheel is always on the right side. My wife has an 05 mini with union jack roof and right-hand drive...and I have a second mini (02) with viper stripes and right-hand drive.
You're obviously in the wrong country!

As part of the PEACE dividend in Northern Ireland it was decided that a right hand drive union jack styled model would offend certain parts of the community so a left hand drive version was the compromise........simple really.

union jacks on mini roofs tend to be added at the dealerships..they are transfers as in stickers

Hi!
I'm sure I saw something like this in Marks and Spencer in the gents department recently - where all the accessories were.
I'm sorry now that I didn't pay more attention!
Anyway, best of luck!

Here's a RHD one, but without the Union Jack:

You might want to contact them to ask if they have specifically what you want.
