Sort of… Vehicles over 25 years old can be imported into the US without problems, but see below for state issues. These means a 1983 110 is doable but not a 1990 D90. Vehicles less than 25 years old must be imported by a Registered Importer (RI) and this normally requires expensive modifications to comply with NHTSA requirements and must be on the NHSTA's "LIST OF NONCONFORMING MOTOR VEHICLES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR IMPORTATION"< http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import/elig010807.pdf>This means at least some 1993 D110s and some 1997 D90s within a certain VIN range can be brought into the US, but some possible expensive modifications will be required to comply with safety rules for example Having the vehicle meet NHSTA requirements is just one step, you must also meet federal and or local emission rules and this can sometimes require further expensive modifications. If you miss either part of this you will have to either re-export the truck or have it scrapped, you will not be allowed to get it off the docks You still need to find a vehicle with a VIN within the rages indicated and have a RI to import the vehicle and still have to jump through the EPA hoops For California and possibly other states you have another set of hurdles for registering any vehicles built after 1975 - it must go to a licensed lab and be modified to meet emissions regulations for the appropriate year at often very substantial cost There have been some vehicles imported outside these rules as kits or as "rebuilds" of older Series trucks using nothing but the VIN plate, all of which are illegal and will cost you the truck if you get caught. DO NOT DO THIS; the Feds are on to most of these schemes, and there have been some recent seizures of imports from unsuspecting owners - the importer, of course has taken the money and disappeared.

Is a Land Rover a rover?

no Originally yes, the model now known as the Defender was originally designed and produced by the Rover Motor Company, the first Range Rovers were designed by them but didn't go into production until after the company lost its independence. All the later models however such as the discovery are nothing to do with the original company, which was effectively dismantled in the early 1970's and used as a name for vastly inferior products to those produced by the company up until the late 60's. The famous v8 also dates back to the Rover company era, it was they who acquired it from the US.
