It's legal, but no way would I drive a left-hand drive car on the left side of the road and vice-versa. Saw lots of UK right-hand-drive cars tootling around France, and even been driven in one there. But no way would I consider doing that myself, or the reverse in the UK.
To pass anybody, you have to take the whole of the car out from behind the car in front of you to see whether it's safe enough to pass, instead of the normal 'just enough across for the driver to see ahead'.

I agree with you that taking the whole car out would be very dangerous. But in many circumstances, you could take the car in (closer to the side of the road) and look ahead on the other side of the car you want to pass. Of course this requires either a long straight line stretch or a long and mild inside turn. And not much traffic. Fwiw, I would also not drive a car with the wheel on the wrong side of it can be at all helped.
