Anyone considering importing a car needs to consider -
1. Grey import - a car of a type not originally sold in the UK
2. Parallel import - a car of a type originally sold in the UK.
There have different rules, and Grey Imports can have two - that is cars not sold in the UK but sold in the EU and cars not sold in the UK but sold in countries other than an EU state (e.g cars from Japan or the USA).
I don't find driving my (LHD only) 500E that much of an issue.

N.B this is quite a complex issue, sadly I am unable to upload the article I wrote on this subject for the Car Import Guide.

Sorry...my ignorance regarding the particular model is apparent. I see what you are saying now. I presumed wrongly that the 780 was based on the 940 and could probably be converted easily. Based on that presumption I was only curious if the OP would convert it.....
