Is it Legal to Drive a Classic Land Rover in the US?

Buyer’s Guide Video #3

Can You Legally Drive a Classic Defender in All 50 States?

I get this question all the time, usually followed by:

❌ “These aren’t road legal, right?”
❌ “Did you have to smuggle that thing in from England?”
❌ “Wait… is this even allowed in the U.S.?”

The truth? Yes, you absolutely can drive a Classic Defender in all 50 states.

It’s an understandable concern—you just don’t see them on every street corner. But as long as a Defender meets the 25-year import rule, it’s completely road-legal.

If you missed yesterday’s video, you can still watch it here.
