I'm sure there is a V6 model of the Leon, but it must be very rare as nobody ever seems to mention it - has anyone tried it, or own one on here? Whats it like?
LHD only
I was lucky enough to get a lap in a slightly tuned & uprated handling one round Nurburgring - it's very different to any other leon!

I have seen at least one advertised in the Autotrader before, mind you that was some time ago. I think there are a handful in the country, and I'm sure someone on here had one a few years back.

Quickest way is to go on Autotrader website. scroll down to bottom of page and follow the links to the Euro Autotraders, Dutch would probably be best, or German as most people over there speak the Queens English better than we do so it will be easy to contact the sellers and communicate.
Have a search on here about importing cars, it's quite easy but time consuming as you will probably have to fly over there and get a ferry back. Lots of people were importing cars a couple of years ago when the exchange rates were good, and not just new cars as there were bargains to be had with some saught after semi classics like BMW M3s, Integrales, Golf G60s etc.
Perhaps visit a few other websites that deal with Golf GTIs and ask peoples opinions on how to go about importing cars as there were loads of G60s and Rallyes being brought in a few years ago.

Was it a 2.8 or 2.9 VR6 lump? Spose there is always the option of having a VR6 conversion off one of the many companies on here - less authentic, but RHD.

It was the 2.8 engine from the mk4 Golf with the multivalve head and variable inlet manifolding, 4WD etc.
Unfortunately not available with the 3.2 V6 either!
A few V6 Cupra 4's for sale in Holland on Autotrader

Is it not possible to look into a 4 wheel drive conversion using a written off S3 or whatever? Probably a lot of work mind you but surely it's do-able?
Not all that similar but there was an Astra MK1 in Total Vauxhall this month which had been stuck on top of a trimmed calibra turbo 4x4 chassis.

Do able but would cost masses of money. There are so many electronic gubbins on these latest generation cars your biggest problem is getting them all talking to one another. Not as easy as you would think, there's a guy on Briskoda who merely implanted a PD130 engine from a Fabia vRS into a Fabia PD100, simple you would think - not a chance, you'd be surprised how many different bits were required to be changed, and it's still not all sorted now, with engine check lights and air bag lights illuminated in the dash all the time etc etc.
