Why are there LHD cars in UK?

Good evening fellas, I'm just curious why some cars are LHD in England?
Mine is LHD and sold new in the UK, I'm thinking some embassy or strange forigner would be the only one wanting to have one.
Although after some quick searching I've found several LHD car and just wanted to know if there is an easy explaination for this?

Probably the same reason there are RHD cars in Spain , owners have took them with them rather than go through the process of buying LHD cars ...

Also think that LHD cars are cheaper in the UK just as RHD cars are abroad ...

Easy explanation = Choice !

Host of reasons in reality. Friend of a friend sources cars for some footballists (I live near 2, 4 if you include scousers, premier teams) and a lot of the overseas players ask for LHD... Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........
