Can I import a Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series from Africa or Australia?

Could I import a 70 series Land Cruiser from somewhere where thet are still on sale - Australia or an African country - and use it in roads in the UK, even though it does not meet emissions regulations?

In theory you could import a Land Cruiser for your own use, but you would need to apply for Individual Vehicle Approval, which you can read more about here: www.gov.uk/vehicle-approval/individual-vehicle-app...s

You may have to make modifications for it to be approved, which may also include emissions control equipment, which could prove to be an expensive process.
