Project Orange 🍊 an iconic design in surroundings that do it justice.

This client wanted to maintain the classic styling of the Defender, completely remastered to the highest standard, but with a finish that turns head wherever it goes.

However you want to build your Retro, be that a classic style Series or a truly one of a kind Defender, we make sure that your build is designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.

The legendary Project Orange 🍊

This Retro Defender 90 Ragtop takes many forms, with its removable black canvas roof, a fully trimmed hardtop roof we recently installed, and of course it’s fully topless form pictured here. We know what we’d choose in this weather we have right now….

Classic style and spirit from the outside. Completely reborn underneath.

While some of our builds maintain a more traditional style, the same level of detail and craftsmanship is applied through every nut, bolt, panel and part through the entire vehicle. God is in the details.

More than just your dream Land Rover, these vehicles open your life up to a whole other approach to living. Envisioned and created to integrate into your life and how you choose to live it. Whether it’s big days out with friends and family or solo early morning drives, your Retro will be built for those moments.

Up close with this Deep Bronze Green Retro Series III

The finishing touches, applied everywhere. We don’t stop at what you can see; the same attention we give to the visible details is applied well beneath the surface, in the areas that never meet the eye. Every bolt considered, every hidden surface treated as if someone’s looking. This is what separates a restoration from a retro: we finish everything, not just the parts on show.

Some things are built to be open to the world, to let the elements in rather than shut them out.

This is the philosophy of the ragtop, not protection, but participation. Not isolation but immersion.

Starting a fresh. The odometer showing the sign of a Land Rover completely remastered, every single detail either replaced or refurbished. All to a standard that surpasses anything that left the factory in period.

A dream manifest into reality. Wrapped in Saddle Tan leather and Iroko Hardwood.
A custom build isn’t about what we think you should have. It’s about what actually works for your life. How you live, where you are based, and what matters to you.

Land Rovers were always built for purpose, so we’re carrying that legacy forward.
