I suppose its hard (or maybe impossible) to register an alternate position car here in the states? A few lucky folks got to register their mclarens and those guys sit in the middle!

Drive-position is only a secondary deterrent to importing, the primary deterrent is compliance with all FMVSS (federal safety standards).

Imported cars built within the last 25 years have to comply with all FMVS standards in effect for the car's model year or be readily brought up to those standards after importing. The NHTSA maintains a list of approved cars. If you petitioned to bring in a TVR, then you'd have to have it certified by the manufacturer that the safety performance of the right-hand drive version is "substantially the same" as the left-hand version, which isn't compliant anyway. Long-story short...it's a non-starter.
