      Not sure if this should go here or the random questions thread. I'm looking at importing a Land Rover to Canada most likely from the UK. It must be at least 15 years old to import. I'm looking at old defender 90 or 110 pickups. Wondering if anyone here has experience doing this. There are many sites on the web that source a car and ship it but looking to see if anyone has used one of these services and can recommend one. Many of these outfits are based in the UK so I figured this forum could be a good resource.

        I'd ask Giles, deanclean… If he can ship 25oz jeans to Canada for 20$, he probably can ship something small like a Land Rover for a fiver...

                    MP and Twism_23, very nice vehicles. A new picture of my old car, still going strong.

                        Thanks, I can't wait to pick it up!  I've got a 500km drive home from the dealership, so plenty of time to get familiarised 🙂

                        4444cfed, that's a classic, looks like it's in good nick too 🙂

                            It won't take you that long, there ain't much to get familiarised with ;D.  Heated seats is about as complicated as it gets, though I suspect you won't be needing them.  First thing to do is chuck out the feckin useless stock radio.  We replaced ours with a blue tooth Sony device.  Now we have hands free on the phone and the world of Spotify, plus Apple route guidance….Love it

                                Good point.  It would have been more fitting to retro fit one of these now I think of it:

                                        Haha, yeah there's not much techno wizardry in there is there.  All the Australian spec Defenders have the Alpine headunit / sub set-up, so we'll see how that sounds, otherwise I'll do the gramophone upgrade.
