Let us walk you through the process.

We’re always eager to meet and talk through the possible options, potential investment, configurations, our philosophy, incoming inventory, and anything else Defender.

We try to keep a steady inventory of different vehicles in our showroom.  They change weekly. View Current Inventory.

The complete package. Not overdone.  Not over built.

Michael brought Fergus by to visit today. It’s fun when we get to see all the evolving changes and customizations come together over time - even after they leave the workshop. We still have a few more surprises to come on this one.

Working out the kinks in an automatic conversion. It’s never easy.  That’s the thing about hand building cars - sometimes things go perfectly. Most times they don’t.  But we stick with it to make sure it’s properly done.

The team has been putting in a lot of extra hours and days to get these builds out the door to enjoy the summer weather. Project Bertha took her first extended test drive from our Renville workshop to the finishing and QA center in Minneapolis. 120 miles so far.  Minor tweaks and a few more to go before we put the final interior in and release her into the wild. 

Special thanks to the team for working through the weekend.
