Classic Defender Builds – Bespoke Luxury Conversions in the UK
​
Our Classic Defender Builds are designed for those who value heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Each vehicle is built to be truly unique, combining classic Land Rover Defender character with modern engineering and luxury refinement, all delivered in line with our heritage-led company principles.
Every Classic Build follows a significantly more comprehensive and meticulous process than our standard Defender conversions, ensuring exceptional attention to detail, longevity, and overall quality.
​​
Why Choose a Classic Defender Build?
​
Each Classic Defender build begins with an enhanced base specification, incorporating the highest quality components available from the outset. This philosophy ensures superior performance, reliability, and refinement, both on and off the road.
We offer both petrol and diesel power options, including:
-
V8 petrol engine conversions
-
Cummins 6BT diesel engine conversions
Both powertrains are selected for their proven performance, durability, and suitability for bespoke Defender builds.
All base vehicles used in our Classic Defender conversions are PUMA-era Defenders, chosen for their improved drivability, modern architecture, and compatibility with high-end upgrades.
​
Bespoke Interior & Exterior Craftsmanship
​
Every Classic Build features a fully bespoke, hand-crafted interior, designed and finished to the client’s individual specification. This includes a custom-made centre console, heated front and rear seats, a premium Stinger head unit, and a high-quality sound system.
Over 150 hours are dedicated exclusively to bodywork preparation and paint refinement. This ensures exceptional panel fitment, depth of finish, and long-term protection, resulting in a Defender that looks as refined as it performs.
​
Fully Customisable Classic Defender Conversions
​
No two Classic Defender builds are the same. Every element of the vehicle can be tailored, including drivetrain, suspension, interior materials, colour schemes, exterior detailing, and modern technology integration.
We offer in-person consultations in the UK to understand your exact requirements, discuss design and engineering options, and guide you through our bespoke build process from initial concept to final delivery.
