Re: EXPORTING A Landrover!
Fantastic, you get the odd Disco, Freelander and even Range Rover but I haven't even heard of (I'm guessing) a Series 3 in Manitoba never mind Brandon. Is it a swb or lwb, petrol or diesel? Used to have a couple of Series 3 swb myself, we love them.
Hope you get it over, would like to give it a onceover.
Good luck with that one

Re: EXPORTING A Landrover!
I see you're from Ireland. That explains it. UK number plates started by ending in an A (A reg) in I think 1963. An "R reg" I count out on my fingers is roughly 16 year after that, so circa 1979. More than 15 years old therefore OK to bring (all things being equal).
YES THATS CORRECT! x

Re: EXPORTING A Landrover!
I can't tell you about a Landrover, but I brought my 2CV this summer. I did a full garage inspection prior to leaving, as I thought it would simplify things on arrival, and I had the bottom steam pressure washed by a specialist garage....Canada is very sensitive about loose soil or earth being on the bottom of the vehicle. I put my car in the container and all went well. When the container arrived it was pulled off for inspection by customs, which is apparently the norm for a container with a vehicle, so that costs extra. Then when the container arrived at the house, the customs man came to verify it was the correct vehicle, he gave me the necessary import forms. I got a provisional insurance on her, whipped her to a garage who did a vehicle check, filled in the forms, which I took to the vehicle department and paid the vehicle tax and got my new number plates. Hey Presto. Good luck.

Hold on though, my dad had a Simca in 1972 which was K reg...onwards from there (omitting the O and Q reg because there were not any) would make an R reg 1977...not trying be picky

Re: EXPORTING A Landrover!
Novo, go to leboncoin.fr there are generally a few on there every week, in all areas. An all bells and whistles job is going to be 10 to 12 thousand, but a reasonable 'runner' about 3 to 5 thousand. Parts and pieces are still affordable, and because they are popular and much loved garage mechanics are much more amenable.

Re: EXPORTING A Landrover!
This old beast lives just a few miles east of you in NW Ont. Circa 1955 Series 1 originally owned by the province of Ontario, it was one of two that originally broke trail for sections of what is now Hwy. 11 between Hwy. 11/17 and Fort Frances, Ontario. My Dad bought it in 1971 and it still runs today but more or less just for snow ploughing now. "The Antichrist" has been a godsend for moving tons of snow over the years. I keep nagging my Dad to restore it properly, perhaps one day he'll listen to me.
