    What We Do

    What We Do

    We source the best original Defenders in Europe and rebuild them properly: galvanized chassis, rebuilt drivetrains, and every known weak point fixed. Commission a build to your spec, or choose a finished truck that's ready now. Every build is documented, and we'll walk you around it on video before you commit. Delivery across Europe and to North America.

    See how we build.

    Past Builds

    Past Builds

    Ten Defenders since 2017, from our first modest restoration to a rare North American spec V8 90 with a British Motor Museum Heritage Certificate. Every build is documented system by system, down to the parts we used and the factory flaws we fixed along the way.

    About

    About

    Canadians in Europe since 2010. We started by importing our own Defender, built an import business from it, and in 2017 began rebuilding Defenders ourselves. We're owner-operators: the people who build your truck are the people you talk to, and we'll show you every part of it before you buy.
