Due to the high cost of buying decent cars here shipping the Rover 75 CDT and the MGF over makes sense even though they are RHD.
if it doesn't work out in Bulgaria, give france another try.

Presumably you attempted to rent via an estate agent. Try the expat sites (anglo info, United in Brittany, united in Normandy, Facebook etc). There are loads of Brits willing to let their properties out on a more informal basis - particularly during the winter when their gites are sitting empty.
