That’s a wrap! 🎉

What a fantastic week we’ve had at the Great Yorkshire Show!

A huge thank you to everyone who came to visit us on the Venture Automotive stand. It was great catching up with so many of our existing customers and meeting lots of new faces who stopped by to see what we do.

We hope everyone enjoyed the show as much as we did. Thank you for all the support, the conversations, and the interest in our Defender, Discovery and Range Rover upgrades.

We’ll be back next year, bigger and better!

Safe travels home, and if you didn’t get chance to speak to us, feel free to drop us a message to discuss any upgrades or activations for your vehicle.

See you in 2027! 👋

🔥 4-Pot Brembo Brake Upgrade – Available Now 🔥

We’ve removed these genuine 4-pot Brembo brakes from our demo vehicle, and they’ve covered just 138 miles, so they’re in virtually as-new condition.

An ideal upgrade for Defender D250 models fitted with the smaller factory brakes.

Included:
✅ Genuine 4-pot Brembo calipers
✅ Genuine brake discs
✅ Genuine brake pads

This is the perfect upgrade if you’re looking to improve both braking performance and appearance. They also pair perfectly with our custom painted caliper service, allowing you to finish them in the colour of your choice for a truly OEM+ look.

📩 Get in touch if you’re interested before they’re gone.

🔥 Another Genuine Power Upgrade Completed! 🔥

This 2023 Defender D250 has just left us with a Genuine D350 Power Upgrade, alongside:

✅ Genuine D350 Power Upgrade
✅ Stop/Start Memory
✅ Seat Belt Chime Removal

We often hear people say that only 2025/2026 model year Defenders can be upgraded to a Genuine D350…

❌ Not true.

This 2023 Defender proves exactly what’s possible.

Because we carry out all of our own activations and genuine power upgrades in-house, we know exactly what can and can’t be done. There are no middlemen, meaning you receive expert support directly from us and benefit from some fantastic package prices when combining multiple upgrades.

🌍 Not based near us? No problem.
We can carry out many of our genuine activations and power upgrades remotely, anywhere in the world, making it easier than ever to unlock your Defender’s full potential.

📩 Simply send us your VIN number, and we’ll check your vehicle and send you a full list of available upgrades.

⚠️ Something a little different… ⚠️

After plenty of planning and attention to detail, we’re finally ready to show you the finished result…

🔥 A Defender Hard Top fitted with a full 1 of 1 OCTA conversion. 🔥

We’ve never seen another one finished like this, and the transformation speaks for itself. It completely changes the look of the Hard Top while keeping everything that makes it such a practical vehicle.

This one certainly turns heads wherever it goes, and we’re incredibly proud of how it’s come together.

What do you think… have we just created one of the best-looking Defender Hard Tops around? 👀🔥

🔥 Something a little different heading to Milltek Sport! 🔥

This Defender 130 has just been delivered to Milltek Sport to have a completely bespoke Sound Active Exhaust system developed and fitted. 👌🏽

As the Defender 130 has a different chassis and wheelbase to the 90 and 110 models, an off-the-shelf system won’t fit – meaning this vehicle will be used to create what is believed to be the very first Milltek Sound Active Exhaust setup for a diesel Defender 130.

We’re excited to see the finished result and bring another new option to Defender owners looking to enhance the driving experience without compromising everyday usability.

Watch this space for updates and videos once it’s complete! 🔊🔥
