FoE does the RHD for UK, they're good with using the LHD steering column on the right.
some people can't get over it but I've owned Escorts and Mondeos, driven lots of others
with indicator on the left, there's a little brain switch needed but it's not that difficult.

Ford were only interested in it as a cost proving exercise IF a local Focus was happening
and local manufacturing was to be for RHD only, they could justify a single supplier order...
