Land Rover & Defender
The world's favourite workhorse, remastered
The classic Defender has become the restomod world's second obsession: stripped to bare metal and rebuilt with modern drivetrains, marine-grade wiring and interiors the original factory never dreamed of. From Somerset to Florida, these are the houses doing it best.
