Hello fellow Canucks. Does anyone know how to go about importing a new 110 Tdi left-drive into Canada? Land Rover UK & Canada aren't interested in helping too much. Cheers.
David.

Don't even waste your time......if its not at least 15 years old to the month....it will be a loosing battle.
my advice is to get a good 15 year old Land Rover and get the 300tdi put it it over in the UK before it comes to Canada......
i have been down this road and if i were to do this again, thats what i would do

Importing.....
Hi David,
I agree with Gord, not much chance of getting it into Canada unless its 15 yrs or older.
There is a couple of outfits that are importing "knocked down kits" which are basically new defenders that come over it a kit form, then get rebuilt in Canada. This seems to be a little loop hole (for now).
Here is a link about importing for your reading,

That's odd. Why Canada would want old car to be ok to import?
I have friends that import cars to Poland and Poland wants all new or no more then 5 years old . If they are older then 5 years , the Tax is unbelivable .
People did that two with cars from germany . They tuke them apart , got some paper that the car was for parts , and they got it in as parts car , later assembled it , and registered it . But that loop hole is gone now in my country .
Now Anyone knows if it would be posible to import that car from USA to Canada ?
And I would like to know for my self , on How hard would be to import a car to USA thrue Canada ( a japaniese car ) .

Looking for 200tdi LHD D110 station wagon
Hey. I thought I'd throw in here, just to get the word out. I'm looking for a LHD Canada-legal (>15 years old) D110 station wagon with a 200tdi.
If anyone has something like that for sale, or good contacts to help me source one overseas, I'd love to hear from you. I'm in Waterloo, Ontario.
Thanks a lot,
- Andrew Clarke.

If you are in Ontario, forget about the knock down kit... you will not get insurance. They changed to insurance laws and it is considered a Kit car... As well I would not put the 300tdi in it till it gets to Canada. That engine was not registered to that year of truck and if they run the engine number they will send it back or bury the truck ( a mate of mine works at the docks in Halifax and watched one get crushed and buried, almost cried, due to a 300tdi in an old truck.)
Hi Andrew Barr. I tried emailing your hotmail account yesterday but it bounced. You wouldn't happen to have gone to high school in Kenya and lived Malawi, would you? I knew another Andrew Barr who's the same age. I just moved from southern California back to Ontario (Waterloo) although I'm moving near London (Embro) in a couple months so it would be good to know other local Land Rover people regardless of whether I used to know you or not!
What's this about crushing vehicles with a 300tdi? I thought you could import an old vehicle even if it had a new engine. Do you know what happens if I import, say, a 1988 with a 200tdi in it? Or are they only worried if it's an engine that wasn't in the vehicle at all > 15 years ago, like the 300tdi or td5?
Thanks,
- Andrew.

Send the email to theYahoo account, the Hotmail account never seems to work. Unfortunately I have never been to Kenya,but it is on the travel list... definately always good to meet another rover owner... what truck you got?
As for the truck, since the numbers did not match, I believe the frame number was okay, but the bulkhead and engineand tranny numbers were not 15 years old, so they demolished it.. such a crying shame...

Hello David...
I am a Canadian (Vancouverite) now living in Kobe, Japan.
I have a used vehicle source & export company here so perhaps I can help.
The Land Rover Defender can be imported into Canada if it is >15 years old.
Lefthand or Righthand drive is ok (except perhaps Quebec).
The vehicle must be in proper running order with the correct D.O.T. tyres and the correct watt bulbs.
Probably, as "Exmodland" suggests, it is likely you will require few modifications to clear customs and get it on the road. Also, importing European vehicles from Japan where the vehicles must undergo similar inspections every 2 years (SHAKEN) in their life over here, that has been rather easy too.
Good luck...feel free to contact me if you would like to import from Japan.
Drive safe.

Okay, here's some more information:
We had an accident (we overturned) in Chile and couldn't fix the bodydamages perfectly, so the car is not "pretty", but I an an mechanical engineer, so I took very well care of the mecanical shape of the car.
Here is some fotos:

Here are mechanical facts:
2 take a rest: for sale / zu verkaufen
Our Blog:
2 take a rest
The price: 18500 US$
We would try to meet on the west canadian-american border, that's the easiest for the paperwork
Cheers,

2 defenders 110 into cananda...
Well this is a rather long thread - goes back to 2005! So I want to do the same thing. I have found two Defender 110s in the UK and a bloke to ship them. 8000GBP for the two defenders, and 5300GBP for the container to ship them to Canada. I was looking at getting 1 and then shipping and he told me that 2 fit quite well. Even at 4000GBP each, I thought I could - or should rather - fly over to the UK and inspect them, get them cleaned by a certified company (Canada requires professional steam cleaning to protect out 'fragile eco-system') before they are loaded into the container, sealed and shipped off.
$23,000 is a bit out of my current budget - but I figured I could easily sell the 2nd defender once I had it on Canadian soil. That said - if someone is looking for an original Defender 110 diesel - one is an 86, the other a 93 - ex military soft tops with full records. The military services theses things top notch all the time - no matter what the cost. New tires - MOT'd for both, so in good working order.
Anyone interested?

Hello David
I am located in Ottawa and have just imported my 2002 110 TD5 from Barcelona. Last year I imported a 1998 90 300tdi from Rome
The process is quite easy. The most import process is straightforward enough, as everyone is saying, verify the MM/YY of production as it cannot be imported into Canada and inspected by Transport Canada until they can verify with concrete proof this is 15+ years old.
Use this site - dubdubdub dot vindecoderz dot com
Also you may call Land Rover UK 011 44 370 5000 500 and verify with them and in my case request an official letterhead verification of this. There are 2 date to consider, the production date and the registration date of the vehicle in whatever country it is. The important one is the production date.
Sourcing a clean and rust free chassis / frame is key and I would tend to stay away from the colder climate counties unless the vehicle has been through a restoration of some sort. Again mine have come from Italy and Spain and are as clean as you can get.
I hope this helps. It may seem more daunting than it actually is. There are risks in everything, but that is life. Cheers - Graham

I just bought a 2007 Defender 90 TD5 and in the process of importing to Ontario. Buying it sight unseen but having it taking to a local shop for a pre-purchase inspection for confirmation. Wanted to ask the group with shipping company they used to export the LR. I'm thinking of Auto Shippers. I was planning to have it RORO in Halifax and driveway it back to Ontario, but I can't seem to get insurance for RHD Defender until a safety is completed in Ontario. Any else figure this out? So may just have it delivered to Toronto and towed to a mechanic for Safety. I was looking forward to driving it from Halifax.
If someone has already had experience with importing a car, then they probably know how difficult it is to find the right company for transportation. First of all, you should pay attention to services that specialize in car shipping business leads, because this will allow you not only to find a reliable carrier, but also to understand which company offers the best conditions for such transportation.
