why is the value dropping so fast?

The paperwork shouldn't take too long -- just pay somebody a bag of cash and you're probably fine. After paying the higher prices that the rest of the world pays for the car you probably wouldn't notice..

The process is actually not that difficult to prove a vehicle is substantially similar. All you need is a letter from the manufacturer stating as such (which can be easy or hard depending on the brand) and provide that to the proper authorities. Doug DeMuro from Jalopnik outlines this process in full in one of his articles.
I do believe left hand drive vehicles are being made also. I think the North American market is the only one not getting RWD, so they can be had. But I'm sure it would be pricy.

EDIT: Never mind, the hair-pin turn in this thread is rather non-sensical. Anyone who would spend all that extra money, and go through all that red-tape, just to gamble on RWD F-Type Rs magically appreciating many years down the road would be certifiably insane.
There will be plenty of RWD R's on the market to snap up relatively cheap within the next few years. Then you can sit on it for the next 20 years or so, and wait for Barrett-Jackson 2040 . . . LOL.

Here in Australia, my F Type R included the following on purchase:
Stamp Duty (a state tax): $12,605
Goods and Sales Tax (federal): $18,037
Luxury Car Tax (federal): $43,956
So in total, I've paid $74,598 in tax just to drive it out the door. And I can never recover that tax on re-sale. In other words - my car has depreciated nearly $75k on day 1 of ownership.
Stop complaining, you lot!

(Oz: And to think I'm not exactly delighted in having to pay some BS annual excise tax here in the State of Maine. First year was roughly $2,500. Those figures you quote are out-of-this-world!!!).

Ouch! Here is the US you could pretty much buy a base F-Type for something close to the amount you paid in taxes alone on the 'R'. Sounds like the LCT has to go! Read an article where the point was made that the LCT acts as a barrier to free trade between Australia and Japan (and everywhere else), which was quite a valid argument for reducing it...
It's not really a barrier to free trade with Japan, as it only kicks in around $58k retail price, and Japan sells a lot of models here for less than that threshold.
