Being a Landrover, I assume you had budgeted for that though. :unsure:
The other was driveable, but customs couldn't work out how to make it reverse, so they were carefully making sure they didn't park it against any forward obstacles. |

You were allowed to import a vehicle without an engine? I had read that a vehicle needs to be near to "original condition", for it to pass US Customs inspection, and that includes engine, wheels, seat, etc.

Dunno why the US chaps couldn't work out how to use a 2 foot long gear stick with the knob some where behind their left ear :)
To be fair, most Brits would wonder why the heck there was a plethora of sticks in the IIa when I learnt to drive. It had a 'standard' gear stick, a separate one for high/low box, an overdrive stick and a 2/4wd stick...and you only had to knock one of them slightly to engage a false neutral. Then followed by a mad panic shoving sticks everywhere until the right combo achieved drive.😞 |

Personally I would not import a car with the correct engine in the back, I could see the wrong CBP officer on the day rejecting it. Once an officer has made a decision it is very difficult to get it overturned, there are lawyers who can petition for this but they are not cheap. The two main points CBP looks for are the correct engine type and in Land Rovers the VIN numbers on the clutch housing and on the chassis must match. They are not too picky on wheels seats etc however if the car is rejected on engine / VIN issues they can then include wheels seats etc in the rejection notice. |

I did, solved by the multi purpose 'mole grips' as a gear stick!! |
