HIMALAYA

HIMALAYA HIMALAYA specializes in building fully custom Land Rover Defenders and Series 88 / 109s from the ground up. HIMALAYA is a bespoke transportation design company.

Staying close to the classic aesthetic while incorporating modern components for both drivability and serviceability. Re-engineering the vehicles and equipment that take you places. At the core of HIMALAYA there is a fundamental truth of exploration and adventure rooted deep within our DNA. We live and breathe the elements of great adventures, drawn to the experiences had during the journey rather

than the final destination. Our goal, to capture the unique heritage of the vintage Land Rovers, the storied and proven tradition and the innate yearning for adventure that it encourages and is built into every vehicle. While being ultimately respectful of the history, we seamlessly integrate the modern touches that enhance drivability, reliability and performance. Absolutely nothing is overlooked and nothing is compromised in a vehicle that retains its classic styling but, can go anywhere, reliably and in comfort. At HIMALAYA we make the ultimate Land Rover Defender and Series vehicles for the modern era. We create DRIVABLE AUTOMOTIVE ARTWORK for the most discerning and appreciative guardians of this iconic vehicle.

Some things can’t be rushed.

What starts as shelves of original Land Rover parts, decades-old components, and pieces most people would overlook becomes something entirely new in the hands of our craftsmen.

Every HIMALAYA is built by hand in Charleston, South Carolina.
Combining the iconic design of the classic Land Rover with modern drivetrains, handcrafted leather interiors, and thousands of hours of skilled work.

In a world of mass production, building something this way feels like a lost art.
But for us, it’s WHY we do it.

Hand-built vintage Land Rovers.
Modern engineering, timeless design.
Built in the USA.
