Everybody talks about it, this guy did it. In fact, he just drove it over the border after filling out a form.

Great read!

It's hard to believe it's that easy

Yup, really quite simple. I'm about to import a 25 year old Miata (!) after bringing in the Mini and the Land Rover.

Keith, why is there no build thread on the Land Rover?

Because it was built before this forum existed. It's been over 14 years since I dragged it out of the barn.

Price is a rough one, because it's a weird beastie. I need to do some thinking and see when i'd be able to do this anyways. If you're looking to pick something up within the next couple weeks, i'm probably not your man since i need to DD this thing until at least 2 other cars are sorted.

What is a "rare" XJ? One without rust, maybe?

Yes, that would be one characteristic.

The others would be a facelift 2 door 4.0 4x4 5spd. None of which are rare on their own.

No hurry, just need something else before the snow flies. The Vitara has been claimed by one of the kids, but is presently being used by another one, so I'm SOL come winter one way or another!

Turns out there's some awesome E36 M3 in Brazil, too.

I know I wrote up a whole long thread on doing this same thing last year with my delica. Search it up. It really was super easy to do.
