Highest Quality Land Rovers Finished to Your Own Specification
by the UK's Leading Defender Specialist
Export & Shipping from the UK to USA included Free of Charge!
If you are a USA based buyer looking for the highest quality Land Rover Defenders, please take 5 minutes to read this advert in full. We are a multi-award winning Land Rover Defender sales specialist with a stock of around 30 vehicles available for purchase now...
1) Why you haven't yet found the Defender you are looking for...
Unfortunately it is not possible to buy a new Land Rover Defender in the United Sates. The Defender does not meet current United States Department of Transportation (DOT) or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) manufacturing standards. A few thousand units were manufactured for the North American market in the early to mid 1990s but, since this time, DOT and EPA regulations have changed and Land Rover have taken the decision not to, due to the prohibitive cost, redesign the Defender simply to satisfy North American requirements. Therefore new Land Rover Defenders have not been available in the United States since 1996.
2) So what is the law if you want to import a Defender...
In order to import any Defender in to the United States, the vehicle must be at least 25 years old and the engine must be an authentic Land Rover engine that is at least 21 years old (this means you CANNOT import vehicles with the modern TD5 or TDCi Land Rover engines). These import rules apply because any 25 year old vehicle is considered a classic car in the USA and subsequently it is officially exempt from all DOT and EPA regulations. The vehicle must be 25 years or older to bypass all DOT regulations and the engine must be 21 years or older to bypass all EPA regulations. If a Defender is younger than 25 years of age or it had been fitted with an engine younger than 21 years of age it would also - in order to be imported - need to be customised to comply with all current DOT and EPA requirements (this would include the re-design of the engine bay to create an impact crumple zone, the replacement of the engine with an EPA approved engine, the replacement of the dash board to allow the installation of air bags, and a long list of other expensive alterations that would require a fundamental re-design of the vehicle... this is exactly why Land Rover have not re-designed the Defender for the North American markets). The following information regarding vehicle import is copied directly from current DOT import policy:
"Overview of DOT Import Requirements for Vehicles and Engines
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards Exclusions
Section 8. Importing a vehicle that is at least 25 years old.
A motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be lawfully imported into the U.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Such a vehicle would be entered under Box 1 on the HS-7 Declaration form to be given to Customs at the time of importation. You should note that the 25 year period runs from the date of the vehicle's manufacture."
Section 3: EPA Exclusions
A vehicle is exempted (from all EPA requirements) if it has been 21 years or more since its original production year and it is in its original unmodified condition. Upon entry, the importer must file an EPA Form 3520-1 with Customs and declare code "E" on the form.
3) So what can you Import to the USA...
The term "original unmodified condition" used above has been formally defined by U.S Customs as a vehicle that: "has not been significantly altered from its original key structural or mechanical configuration". This means that a vehicle can be sympathetically restored, repaired or reconditioned but that it CANNOT be fundamentally altered. You cannot import a vehicle that has a contemporary engine (unless that engine is formally approved by the EPA); a replacement chassis; an automatic transmission conversion, a modernised drive or suspension system, or that has been converted from right hand drive to left hand drive. If you do, the vehicle can be rejected, indefinitely impounded, or even destroyed by United States Customs (and, as the importer, it is you that will be liable for the loss).
What you can legitimately do is import a vehicle that has its original chassis, original transmission, is in its original left hand drive or right hand drive configuration (evidenced by an official Land Rover Certificate of Conformity), and that has a Land Rover production engine manufactured at least 21 years ago. You can update, repair, and restore bodywork, paint work, trim and upholstery and you can repair, recondition or restore (not significantly upgrade) the original mechanical components of the vehicle. You can fit 'bolt on' external equipment - such as roof racks or spot lights - but you cannot install integrated modern technologies such as built in satellite navigation or reverse parking cameras.
4) Buying a Land Rover Defender from us...
Land Rovers UK Ltd specialise in sourcing the very finest 25 year old Land Rovers that are - IMPORTANTLY - sitting on a genuine, original, clean, corrosion-free, authentic chassis (with the original Land Rover VIN number officially stamped on it) and that are powered by an authentic, genuine Land Rover engine of the correct era (with the correct engine number officially stamped on it). We can supply factory-fitted left hand drive or right hand drive Defender 90 or 110 models with between 2 and 12 seats. We can supply diesel or gasoline variations and we can supply original cloth interiors or bespoke luxury modern interiors. All our vehicles will have manual transmissions but can be converted by you to automatic transmission once the vehicle has passed through US Customs.
We tirelessly restore our USA vehicles to the highest cosmetic and mechanical standard and then we finish them to your personal specification. We will professionally repair body and paint work, fully mechanically recondition the vehicle, refurbish or up-date the interior upholstery and trim, and fit any additional 'bolt on' equipment or accessories that you require. It is worth noting that the design of the Defender has barely changed in 30 years so you lose out on very little buying a 25 year old vehicle instead of a 5 year old vehicle!
Finally, we follow the correct process to remove the vehicles from the UK registry, coordinate the transportation of the vehicle to UK port of departure, complete the outgoing customs clearance and vehicle loading, and ship the vehicle to your closest mainland U.S. port for you or your appointed Customs Agent to import and collect.
5) What you need to do when importing a vehicle...
All Land Rover Defenders sold by our company will be subject to a 2.5% duty upon U.S importation which you will need to pay separately to U.S Customs along with approximately c. $150 in customs clearance administration fees, $400 on bond fees, $125 on EPA/DOT fees, and - depending on your port of entry - a small charge for harbour maintenance fees. You will also need to arrange for, and meet the cost thereof, any registration process that is required within your home State (you should discuss this with your official State vehicle registration agency).
If you would like to appoint a U.S based Customs Clearance Agent to coordinate the importation on your behalf, or if you would like any further information about the customs or importation process, please contact:

Jaguar demanding customer data from reluctant dealers
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
Nearly every major business is collecting consumer data these days, and keeping that data secure has come to the forefront of many customer's minds. Jaguar Land Rover North America's decision to begin requesting more customer info from its dealer network appears unfortunately timed, however. If it had come a few years ago, it might have been ignored, but in today's climate of heightened awareness, a few dealers are pushing back. To put the showrooms in an even tougher position, JLR NA is threatening to deny quarterly incentives if they do not turn over the customer data, according to Automotive News.
JLR NA instated the nationwide plan, which it calls Single View CRM, on February 7, but according to Stuart Schorr, Jaguar Land Rover North America Vice President of Communications, the automaker has been negotiating with its dealers to institute the new program for over a year. Schorr tells Autoblog that no financial information is being shared, noting that such data is limited to customer details, including things like what vehicles they own and whether they have any pending service. The initiative is meant to "improve customers' and owners' engagement with the brand," he said. Also, the company is not accessing dealer data itself; instead showrooms are asked to enter the info into JLR's database.
Jaguar Land Rover names new manufacturing chief for EV transformation
Thu, May 3 2018LONDON — Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is replacing its director for manufacturing as it prepares its plants for an electrified future, the firm said on Thursday. JLR operates three factories in its home market but is building its first electric car, the I-PACE, in Austria. The Indian-owned automaker's Chief Executive Ralf Speth told Reuters earlier this year he is waiting for more information on trading conditions after Brexit before he decides whether to make electric cars in Britain. On Thursday, he said Executive Director for Manufacturing Wolfgang Stadler is retiring from the business, to be replaced by Director of Quality and Automotive Safety Grant McPherson starting July 1. "He will oversee the ongoing investment into our UK and global manufacturing, transforming our plants to enable Jaguar Land Rover's exciting electrified future," Speth said.

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
