All vehicles entering the United States must be at least 25 years old in order to comply with the American DOT and EPA regulations. It is virtually impossible to get the later Land Rover 90/110 models into the country legally.
Many people have tried Kit car versions and vehicles re-built from spares and have wasted large amounts of money and time only to find that they are unable to get them titled and registered.
The importation laws are extremely strict and unfortunately there is no easy, practical or legal way to bypass the U.S. customs and excise laws.
We are on a daily basis receiving faxes and e-mails from all over the States asking for good used L.H.D. or R.H.D. series 2A and series 3 vehicles. Because these vehicles have to be over 25 years old they are now very old and often well worn used vehicles and suffering from chassis and bulkhead corrosion. They also usually have a long list of mechanical faults and the bodywork is usually somewhat past it.
The only practical way of obtaining a top quality Land Rover of the legally correct era is to have it refurbished or fully re-built, thus obtaining a vehicle in first class condition, but also in complete compliance of the U.S. importation regulations.
