Most people within the government couldn't find their ass without a roadmap. <br /><br />I have been in the vehicle import and export business for 10 years, and I know more about it than 99% of the people that work within the government. Feel free to look me up. <br /><br />http://vehicleimport.blogspot.com/2007/12/importation-and-certification-faq-all.html<br /><br /><br />8. Importing a vehicle that is at least 25 years old.<br /><br />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 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. If you wish to see that form, you may download a copy from our website at www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import. You should note that the 25 year period runs from the date of the vehicle's manufacture. If the date of manufacture is not identified on a label permanently affixed to the vehicle by its original manufacturer, to establish the age of the vehicle, you should have documentation available such as an invoice showing the date the vehicle was first sold or a registration document showing that the vehicle was registered at least 25 years ago. Absent such information, a statement from a recognized vehicle historical society identifying the age of the vehicle could be used.Sean Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764446879030639598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-7845772076063919972009-12-30T10:02:18.550-05:002009-12-30T10:02:18.550-05:00There has to be one here in the states for a decen...There has to be one here in the states for a decent price Tom.

It's the new EPA regulations that get in the way. Cars already here are grandfathered, any imports are subject to the new regs.<br /><br />Bryn: Duly noted and will consider the offer! Thanks!<br /><br />Leazwell: It was a Harley Davidson Electraglide or Road King. There are some really good deals out there right now, but with the economy the way it is, I really don't want another monthly payment I have to worry about... So that thought is on the back burner for now, but not completely scuttled.<br /><br />Just Telling it: The Land Rover or the trip?<br /><br />CMK: I do too. I think everyone should do something each year just for themselves.<br /><br />Spiky: Every year I try to plan a trip to Oz, but something always pops up and wrecks the plans.

As for the...I hope you get to go on that trip, Tom.<br />As for the Landy - did you try having it classified as a "classic" car? does such a distinction exist in the US?<br />If you need to, buy an older one. Pre-1973 makes it a classic in the UK, and there's nothing like a Series One Landy to make you feel like the King of the Road :)<br />You'll have to upgrade the motor, though. Go for a diesel and run it on veggie oil, that way you can drive it almost for free....Tim Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470464053181422637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-3671466092792387342009-12-29T10:17:06.755-05:002009-12-29T10:17:06.755-05:00Tee: Yep, I'm thinking that also!
