Default Do 1980's Right Hand Drive Cherokees exist?

Hi,

I'm from Ireland and my 96 XJ has rusted beyond repair. I was wondering if there are any 1980's RHD Cherokees around the U.S?

Motor tax is very high over here and if I buy a 30 year old Cherokee, the motor tax is 90% cheaper.

Does anyone know where I could get a 1980's 4.0 RHD? Or did they even exist!

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like a major pita to me. Gauge cluster, steering, steering wheel position, brake and accelerator, all the wiring. Even the dash
