Hi Stephan,
Thanks so much for the links! It appears that every document is in the one drive! I can open the one I need from my iPad but I'll try again later from a Laptop. |

Hi JB,
I had the same problem but then managed to open it if you have the Google Drive app. Quick question for you. I know fully importing modern Defenders into the U.S. Is illegal, but what's the score if I drove in from Canada or Mexico for a temporary trip? I am planning a trip (not necessarily the U.S.) with my old man and want to take my Defender with me rather than renting. One option is Canada/Us and I would be keen on dong Colorado, Wyoming, the 'Blues Route' etc, plus spending time in CT and Canada. Can I bring a 2011 Defender into the country just for a short while or is it as illegal as full import? Any advice appreciated...  Monsieur Le Grenadier

Thanks Rakthi!
And Grendier, Look at expeditionportal.com They are travelers with machines of all types. I've enjoyed ready the adventure stories there and many come to the U.S. To travel the western mountains and deserts. I'm pretty certain a travel visa is required that is good for 6 months. Meaning you have to be out after 180 days from arrival. That website would be a very good resource. If you need to ship it, I know a guy  |

Monsieur Le Grenadier, You can take a Defender into the USA for up to 1 year without formally importing it, but you will have to reexport it thereafter, as it is not compliant, there is no way you can leave it there longer. You will keep driving with your European license plates/registration, but insurance is something you will have to check. I doubt that your french insurance will cover you in USA. I once did exactly that with a different non USA compliant European car, but keep in mind that shipping it on a roro vessel from Europe to USA is one price, but the tariff to ship it back on a roro reverse route can be much, much more expensive. How do I know? 
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

To add to Eric's reply, I am reasonably certain you will have to get an insurance company in the US or Canada to cover you for the trip.
I am sure the trip will be worth the expense though! I lived 15 years in the US, and stupidly enough never got any further than 200 km from Manhattan ... too busy working, no time playing in those days. Stephan |

Unless things have changed in the last five years, you most definitely require NA (North American) based insurance if you are driving a foreign vehicle there.
As an aside, plan your route very carefully - West coast and East coast are intersesting and need little planning. Middle of the USA and Canada are vast (obviously) and you can drive for 100 miles on end and feel like little has changed. Great trip and one I would recommend but my vote would be West coast up. |

Eric merci comme toujours. For JB, Rakthi and AM94, thanks for the extra tips.
This question arose concerning a proposal my old man put to me over the weekend re doing the 'trip of a lifetime'. U.S. and CN are one of a number of options (separate thread to follow) as we have have many friends and family in NY, CT, ON, NC, TN, CA, ON, AB etc. So it's definitely one being given serious consideration. And despite the appeal of crossing the U.S. in a muscle car, the Beast remains at the forefront of the adventure, so good to know it's possible to take it over.  Monsieur Le Grenadier
