      Hello, my name is Carlos, from Colombia. Next year I’ll be in Gothemburg for a master programme. After this is finished, I want to travel around Africa, and if time ($$$$) lets me, try to go by road to Rusia. Actually I have 2 Land Rover: a 1965 Santana Series IIA and a 2001 Defender 110 TD5. Do you think it’s possible to import one of these to your country? have in mind Colombia is a Third World country, so our rules for cars are really different from yours. How much can it cost there in Europe to buy a Series or Defender in mint condition for this type of travel?

        It requires a lot and correct paperwork to make the car Swedish. You may bring one car per person if you permanently to Sweden.

          It would most likely be more economical to buy a used Land Rover here.

          If you use it with care and look after it, you will be able to get most of your money back when leaving.

          If you have spent a lot of time adding special equipment on your Land Rover to prepare it for travels and also like paperwork and dealing with authorities, then maybe it’s a good idea to try to bring one of your own Land Rovers.

          It’s hard to give price estimates, but I guess if you sold your 2001 Defender 110 before leaving, you could buy a similar model here?

          A 2001 110 seems to fetch around 100-140 kSEK here depending on condition, equipment etc.

            Thanks a lot for your answers. Here my 110 can be sold by around SEK 250.000 – 280.000, so it’s really worth in money to buy there in Sweden. Where can I find used car internet prices? is there a good webpage where I can see the supply of these? what other expense I have to have in mind additional to the car cost?

                Thanks a lot for all your help, I will buy a used diesel Defender or Series in Swedden, they are really cheap. As an foreign student, can I be part of your club? how can I do? I don’t speak your language and translate tools are really funny to understand procedures in your forums.

                I don’t have any previous experience driving on ice or snow, I suppose you have driving schools specialized on these terrains. How much can it cost? Sorry to bother with so many questions, but svenska is a really tough idiom for me (I’ll start my course next month).

                      And regarding the snow and ice thing -Yes, when here, you can easily sign up for a few hour crash-cource on a driving range. No serious costs for this.

                      Welcome to the club
