1970-1986 Range Rover US - Grey Market import

Range Rover was intended to be sold in US when it was introduced in June 1970. An article in 
Road & Track, Sept. 1970, told that a US launch was planned mid-year 1971 with options like 
tinted glass, air conditioning and, if ready; automatic transmission, to a base price of $ 5,300.  

But, British Leyland did not launch the new Range Rover on the US market, despite that the 
development of Range Rover was with the American market in focus. Both due to lack of financials 
and production capacity delayed official Range Rover organized import to US to 1987.

An article in Canadian Driving, Sept. 1974, told that CKD Range Rover assembly were done in 
Venezuela and Costa Rica, but no export to US or Canada. It was hoped that UK export to Canada
could start in 1977 when higher production capacity was planned, but 10 more years should go.
                                                                                                                                                        'Grey Market' import of Range Rover's to US during 70's and 80's
Land-Rover Series III were imported in US, but decline in sales and new smog regulations resultet 
that British Leyland withdraw themselves from the US market in 1974. From early 70's untill official
US launch in 1987 there were a steady, but tiny stream of US 'Grey Market' Range Rover imports.

Wolfshead Inc., Century City, CA also import company of exotic vehicles like Ferrari Boxer,
BMW M1 and Lamborghini Countach, sold Range Rover's from 1979 to a price of $29,500.

Automotive Compliance Inc. (ACI), Harbor City, CA imported the Range Rover's from UK dealers,
made them smog legal certified to American smog laws by installing three-way catalytic converter,
an air injection pump and a charcoal canister to capture evaporating fuel. Because the vehicles are
considered as used before import, the process is much lenient and less expensive than if the manufactorer should do the import. 
By eliminating the centre muffler and installing the catalytic converter the back pressure was reduced 
and more pleasant exhaust rumble sound than original UK derivative. ACI estimated that the power 
output was 10% lower with the catalytic installed.
In 1980 ACI hoped to import 50 Range Rover's per year and sold them through dealers in Houston, Texas; Miami, Florida; Chicago, Illinois and Harbor City, California.
                                                                                                                                                         Catalytic converter, air pump and charcoal canister installations
