Not as new as what you are looking for but seems like a good deal.

actually this is an incorrect statement in the ad.
the term "bug eye" came when due to US regulations, LR had to move the lights from being in the radiator support to the wings (fenders) to comply.
the first Land-Rovers shipped to the US with the wider headlights are commonly referred to as "bug-eyes" because LR merely put the headlights in the fenders and didn't do any "dressing up" at that time.

Congrats Andrew.
I'm sure you'll love it.
Did you end up with a 200Tdi or 300Tdi?

I picked up a 1992 CSW 200TDI for 3000 pounds plus shipping of about 1000 and taxes of about another 800 CAD. It is in very good condition other than needing some dents removed, paint, and the doors skinned and repaired and a bit of bulkhead work but I was planning on a full restoration anyway.
The plan is to swap in a Richards chassis and galvanize or zinc plate every mild-steel component and go to a HS2.8TGV with R380 in the next year or so, though right now I'm focusing on cleaning it up, doing basic bodywork repairs, and replacing all the corroded hardware as well as putting in noise reduction measures since as we all know, they're pretty loud

Oh man you've got so much work ahead of you but hopefully it will turn out well.
My advice to you, not that you asked, is to keep it simple and pay attention to the small stuff rather than trying to make your truck unique or even worse, "one of a kind". Just try to give it a new life as a nice vehicle.

Very good advice. There are enough basic things to do to keep me busy for at least a couple months given the amount of welding, galvanizing, and other tear-down/re-assemble tasks to get done.
It has been a learning experience so far for sure. I even prefer the way it drives over the Disco 2 other than the truck-like transmission (it'll get an R380 which I hope will shift a bit better),.
Right now I'm just doing what I can out in front of the shop while I wait to get a set of carriage doors installed so I can get it inside in the heated workspace.
I'm sure I'll come up with lots of questions, the first of which will probably come when I've removed all the bolts I can find to try to get the sills off to repair (removed the valances today, but the sills themselves really need to be patched and galvanized.)

Alright, you guys have me interested. I live near Galveston so importing a 110 wouldn't be hard to pick up. Granted, I'd love to pick one up in the US, but what is the going rate for a 110 with a 200tdi in it? What years are allowed within the US that have a 200tdi in them? Yeah, bonus check is coming soon

There is one with a V8 in it for about 800 that needs about 800 worth of welding for it to pass MOT pretty close to me. I've found a shop locally that does great work and can put a 200tdi in it for about 1500. So with the current exchange rate that'd put you at less than $5000. Add on the shipping and what-not and you have one that is gross colored brown and off-white and really old for like $8000. The really really nice old ones are few and far between. It's sad that you can purchase a 97 110 in far better condition for the same price as an 84 or 85 over here..

The "artificial value" is because the Dutch are buying them up and drive the prices of the old stuff up. The old ones are "road tax exempt" for the Dutch so they are willing to pay a little more up front for the long term savings. I have competed with Dutch dealers on several nice trucks (glavy frames etc) and they ran the price up rediculously.

Brian,
The letter of the law is:
To be EPA exempt on entry the truck has to be 21 yrs old and have its "original" engine. The DOT rule is 25 yrs so only the 83's and now the 84's are eligible for import.
