To answer some questions
The price includes transport and shipping costs to a east coast port of your choice On RO/RO vesse, other destinations may cost more ? POA .Once the vehicles arrive at the port of choice any customs and port fees also DOT charges are payable by the purchaser . We use a very good shipping company that can assist you with customs clearance process ( just makes life easier )

We do not REBUILD scrap or dead and abandoned vehicle, or use new none age related parts like incorrect engines or new chassis, We start with good solid original survivor vehicles so we simply have to ( what we call ) lightly Restore and refresh our vehicles to bring them back to a good usable and presentable condition . All numbers matching and to original factory specification . All vehicles we export can come with a heritage certificate these can be obtained for any vehicle and cost around $30 .
We get asked a lot if we can supply our Land Rovers in left hand drive configuratio, The simple answer i, if the vehicle started life as a Right hand drive and converted to LHD version prior to import then US customs would not clear this because the vehicle is not to factory spec . Left hand drive Land Rovers of the correct vintage for legal import ( 25 + years old ) are very Rar, the most common way of acquiring one is to buy a ex mod vehicl, these can be bought direct from around $3000 If these ex mod vehicles are offered for sale you have to ensure they are fitted with the correct engine type normally 2.5NA diesel, And all specifications match the VIN number for that vehicle .
Land Rovers of the correct age for legal importation to the US Have to be in original factory specification, Please bare this in mind because these vehicles although we all love them are at least 25 years ol, they do not have all the mod cons of modern vehicles and they can be described as being quirky individual vehicles with personality and character, The land Rover has unrivaled abilities and if treated with respect will just go on and o, This vehicle is 37 years old and there is no reason why this wont be around in another 37 years and more . If you are looking for a brand new vehicle then these might not be the thing for you .
