I'm looking for a pickup at the moment, and prices are a bit mad in the UK so I'd revisited the idea of importing one. It's going to be used 90% off road moving stuff over a hill farm, so I've always liked the idea of a 70 series Land Cruiser.

Last time I looked there were a few options, but this one wasn't amongst them - https://www.transautomobile.com/en/toyota-land-cru...

Has anyone dealt with the company before? And does anyone know if importing one (a new one) to the UK is just a case of paying the VAT and Duty, and getting it through the IVA test? I know these 70 series LCs aren't sold in the UK or EU because of emissions, so would that be an issue on the test as it's under 10 years old? There do seem to be companies importing them, but they're a fair bit more expensive and from what I can tell the test is £100, plus a fog light, undersealing and shipping.

Any advice much appreciated.
