If I import a 1995 Mercedes-Benz right-hand drive sedan from Sydney, am I able to drive it in Doha?

Right Hand Drive Vehicles are not allowed in Qatar. Here you can buy a nice car at a decent price.

All the best and welcome to Doha

You woouldnt be able to ship it here for the simple reason that the has to be 5yrs old...meaning if your car is gettin shipped in 2009, it has to be a model thts 2004 or above. I tried shipping my car from toronto as well. It wasnt allowed.

Probably not, they follow GCC Specs here, which seem very similar to USA specs. It also probably wouldn't be worth the cost or hassle, you will get a decent price for the car in Sydney, it would be worth almost nothing here.

There has been a 1995 E220 listed here for QR 19000, which is about AU$8000. I doubt that they got their asking price.

If you are worried about learning to drive on the other side of the car, don't sweat it, most people are comfortable after a couple of hours driving.
