While Jaguar Land Rover Japan cannot make its latest Defender model available in the country due to modern stringent environmental and safety requirements, importing a new one is easy, Forbes reported on 31 January.
Production of the car, famously driven by Queen Elizabeth II, finished in January. In the US, Defenders made within the last 25 years cannot be imported—rules are waived for those aged over 25—but it is possible in Japan.
As the regulations do not apply for small private import purposes, it is possible to obtain a Defender in Japan without too much paperwork.
