McLaren have not built a RHD SLR. They don't have the parts to produce one.

but anyways i found this

According to McLaren managing director Antony Sheriff, making a right-hand drive car would require a costly engine reconfiguration. He adds that the SLR is limited to a total of 3,500 units, all to be built at the company's production facility at Woking in Surrey at a rate of 500 per year. There is already a two-year waiting list - three years in some markets - but there are no plans to continue production beyond the next seven years.
