I'm reading some chatter on the GWagon forum that Land Rover is putting out info saying that older RRCs from Europe are inelligable for import to the USA. They specifically discuss the 1987 model.
Am I missing something? Have Federal import regs changed? Isn't it still 25 years and "original" configuration?
LRNA is stating that they have done a study of the situation, and in their wisdom, they are telling registered importers that the old RRC cannot be brought in.
Given LRNA's past actions, I'm wondering if this isn't simply a lie to try to curtail the importation of RRCs in the same way that Defenders have been brought in over the past 10+ years. I think they are afraid of what it does to their market, and they are playing this game to try to get people to give up on trying to import, even though Federal regs would say otherwise.
