🇬🇧 Kent · United Kingdom
Kent workshop turning classic Land Rovers and Range Rovers into one-of-one builds with tuned V8s and discreet modern tech.
Kent Heritage Works is a Land Rover specialist near Royal Tunbridge Wells, led by former Apple executive Cliff Smith. Alongside restoration and repair work, it builds a 1 of 1 Collection of individually specified classics. The Admiral, a 1976 Series III, pairs a tuned Rover 3.5-litre V8 developed with V8 Developments with a ZF automatic, uprated brakes and steering, and an in-house touchscreen with CarPlay. Dreadnought, a two-door Range Rover Classic, followed in October 2026, with a four-door Viscount announced. A young house with a clear point of view and a tech-forward approach to the classic Land Rover.
