    Tony,

    If it's the real McCoy, there should be a build plate under the bonnet saying General Motors Continental Antwerpen. They did a few experiments with LHD Buicks. And it will have the H for Flint in the VIN.

    Here's a 1975 plate, the one at the bottom is a German VIN plate.

    The factory 70's Electra I saw in England had the brake booster on the RHD driver's side of the vehicle.

    And that VIN looks like it's not right:

    Vin No: 4 82 69 F L 1138385

    14 digits instead of the usual 13, maybe they copied this from the Body Number Plate ?
