American customs officials, not being all that stupid after all, eventually figured this out, when more and more jokers started to try to import more and more unlikely vehicles pretending to be 25 years old. Now the situation for importing Land Rovers is so bad that quite legitimate vehicles are being sent back if (for example) a later engine (even of the same capacity) has been fitted. A number of blatantly fraudulent vehicles have even been crushed with large publicity.
