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.

When the temperature starts to drop in Charleston, it’s the perfect weather for a cruise in the Land Rover.

Whether you’re cruising downtown to grab a coffee or passing 18-wheelers on the freeway to work, the HIMALAYA Defender 90 can handle it.

We build these Custom Classic Land Rovers to actually be driven, not just started at in a garage.

The goal is to capture Land Rovers iconic looks and analog experience, while elevating the rest so you can actually drive it every day.

Underneath: New 425HP GM LS3 engine, automatic transmission, upgraded surrounding systems.

Inside: Fully Custom In-House Leather Interior, hidden bluetooth connectivity, and no distracting screens.

Get out there and drive your Land Rover.

Life is short, drive the Land Rover.

Owning a 1960s Land Rover can be hard today without an experienced mechanic on hand to help keep it on the road.

That’s why we build the HIMALAYA Series 88.

Land Rovers iconic looks, reengineered for modern drivability and serviceability.

The HIMALAYA Signature Drivetrain Package includes a 425HP New GM LS3 engine that anyone in the US can service, then we upgrade all the surrounding systems.

A HIMALAYA is meant to be used and driven, not stared at in a garage.

Sound up… This is the essence of a HIMALAYA.

The analog feel of a classic Land Rover is something that everyone should be able to feel and enjoy.

But a completely original 1960s Land Rover has its limitations:

Without access to a top-notch Land Rover mechanic, it can be a labor of love to keep you on the road actually enjoying it with your family.

That’s the entire point of the HIMALAYA Series 88.

No screens and distractions.
Switches. Buttons. Metal. Glass. Wood accents. Premium leather.
A modern engine and surrounding systems that can be serviced easily anywhere.

This is a 1960s Land Rover that is truly meant to be driven.
