Importing Land Rovers to USA

[matt21]

A friend of mine is looking to import a pre 1991 Land Rover into USA from UK as I understand they were never really homologated over there, but at 25 years all duties and taxes are waived.

Got me thinking what other cars were never sold over there? I know M3 CSL is one and suspect at 25 years prices will jump!

sounds a good business opportunity!

Over 25 years ok though?

[matt21]

Fair point on the customs but that's for cars illegally bought in. Surely 25 years plus is more straight forward?

[matt21]

Very interesting. Thanks

A solid, original, un modified late 80s Defender may make sense

What states must you avoid for 25 year old plus vehicles? Just California?
