ORIGINAL: Disco Mike

There is absolutely no way to bring one in, be it by parts or on the wheels.

Mike this is just not true, we have exported to the USA four 1983 defender 110's since Jan 1st 2008. One was rebuilt to 1995 spec for a client, ie push button doors and turbo diesel engine (this is being epa'd as we speak).

I am currently converting a 1983 vehicle to lhd, putting it on a new galvanised chassis and changing the body style to a double cab with metalic paint, the works.

I currently Have 5 RHD defenders in stock, 3 in the work shop and 2 ready for sale, realistically priced from $12,000 plus shipping.

all the best Julian www.globallandrovers.com

globallandrovers what has to be done to import these rovers? Can they be imported as is or do they all require work before they will pass USA EPA and customs checks? Does it matter if they are right hand or left hand drive?

Thanks!

Tjeep,
The 1983 vehicles we currently have in stock can be imported to the USA as RHD vehicles and titled with no problems. As all engines conform to the 25 yr dot rule and the 21 year epa rule.
If you have a turbo diesel installed it vairys state to state. One of my clients who posts on the D-90 forum just registered 2 1983 110's in Maryland. So I can get him to give me the details of the maryland process, It may help in your state. please have a look at my website where one of the 1983 110's is listed, the other are being prepared in our workshops. www.globallandrovers.com
all the best and happy rovering

Mike is right, you need to bring in a 1983/4(next year) already rebuilt in the UK or europe if you want newer spec, this means rebuilt using a new chassis and NOT ringed!
