Grey Market Land Rover Defenders into the USA?

Jul 05, 2004 1 Replies

I am considering importing a Grey Market Land Rover Defender 90 into the United States of America. The biggest issue I have with what is available now is that there are no diesel engine options unless you are looking at an H1 Hummer. Re-engining an existing domestic USA model seems to be cost prohibitive even if I use a different donor vehicle.



Does anyone have experience with bringing a Euro-spec Land Rover into the USA? Does Land Rover have a special branch to work with potential customers like myself?



Thanks in advance!


Last time we looked at this, the general consensus was that you'd need to import it as a kit of parts then build and register it as a "backyard special"

They don't even have a branch to work with regular customers ;-)
