I have considered purchasing a Rubicon Jeep or taking a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 and rebuilding it but, what I really want is one of the new generation Diesel Land Rovers which are not available in the USA. I have considered a gas powered Discovery but, what I really want is a Defender 110. With a claimed ~35mpg, the economy and reliability are attractive. At a similar retail pricepoint, I could buy a domestic Ford or Chevy Diesel but the economy just isn't there; also I have had reliability problems in years past.
Where should I look to find information on importing a Euro-spec Land Rover Defender in the USA? Any idea on what sort of cost I would be looking at beyond the purchase price from the dealer? How about parts? Anyone know if I would be able to get parts direct from a domestic dealer or, would I have to have them shipped in from England?
Thanks for your help in advance!
