The Range Rover Classic (RRC) has always been more than just a capable SUV. It’s the vehicle that redefined what luxury off-roading could be. From the moment it debuted in 1970, the RRC proved that rugged utility and refined style could coexist in a single, iconic design. Decades later, that balance of sophistication and adventure continues to turn heads, making the Range Rover Classic a timeless favorite for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

At ECD, we take that legacy and elevate it to a new level. Every custom Range Rover Classic restomod we create is a handcrafted blend of heritage and innovation. Whether you want the pure authenticity of the original or a bold modern reinvention, our team transforms this legendary SUV into a one-of-one masterpiece built around your vision.

The Legacy That Defined the Luxury SUV

Before the Range Rover Classic arrived, Land Rover was best known for its utilitarian Series models — vehicles that worked hard in fields, farms, and rugged terrain around the globe. But by the late 1960s, drivers wanted something more refined, a capable off-roader that didn’t compromise comfort. The result was the Range Rover Classic, unveiled in 1970.

The RRC has multiple engine options, ultimately breaking new ground with its aluminum V8 engine, coil-spring suspension, and full-time four-wheel drive. These features made it as comfortable on city streets as it was confident on the trail. It was the first SUV that looked just as good pulling up to a country club as it did powering through muddy backroads.

What made the Range Rover Classic so special was its dual nature. It was strong and stylish, which created a new category: the luxury SUV. That pioneering blend of capability and comfort cemented the Range Rover Classic as a cultural and automotive icon, admired by adventurers and luxury drivers alike.

Inside ECD’s Signature Restomod Process

At ECD, crafting a custom Range Rover Classic isn’t about restoring the past — it’s about reimagining it for the future. Each RRC build takes roughly 2,200 to 2,500 working hours, or around 12 to 14 months of expert craftsmanship. From concept to completion, every Range Rover Classic restomod is a true one-of-one commission built entirely in-house at our Florida headquarters.

The process begins with a detailed design consultation, where your ideas shape the entire project. You’ll collaborate with our team to choose every element — from exterior paint and trim to interior leather and performance upgrades. Once the design is approved, the transformation begins.

The donor vehicle is stripped down to bare metal, and the chassis is strengthened to modern standards. Each panel is aligned to perfection, and every mechanical component is either rebuilt or replaced. Under the hood, clients can select from multiple powertrain options, including a reliable 5.3L V8, a durable Cummins diesel, or the high-performance LT4 supercharged V8. Add upgraded suspension, modern braking systems, and advanced electronics, and you’ve got a Range Rover Classic restomod that performs as beautifully as it looks.

What truly defines the ECD process is precision. Every stitch, every switch, and every gauge is placed with care. The result isn’t just a refreshed SUV — it’s a bespoke machine built to match your lifestyle and personality down to the smallest detail.

Choosing the Perfect Trim: Retro, Custom, or Signature

No two ECD Range Rover Classics are ever the same. Each build starts with a foundation — and from there, you decide how far you want to take it.

• Retro Trim – Starting at $169,995
  For purists who love the look and feel of the original, the Retro trim captures vintage charm while delivering modern dependability. It’s the ideal entry point for those who want a period-correct aesthetic without the quirks of old-school mechanics.
• Custom Trim – Starting at $179,995
  The Custom trim gives you a blank canvas to create your own vision. From bespoke paint and interior materials to upgraded performance options like the 6.2L LT1 V8, this trim is perfect for those who want a personalized Range Rover Classic restomod tailored to both comfort and performance.
• Signature Trim – Starting at $249,995
  The Signature build represents ECD’s highest level of craftsmanship. Expect premium features like Nappa leather Recaro seats, panoramic glass roofing, high-end audio systems, and the option for a 650-horsepower supercharged LT4 engine. The Signature trim is where old-school design meets cutting-edge luxury.

No matter which path you choose, each build is designed to embody your individual style and deliver a one-of-a-kind driving experience.

Iconic Builds: Where Classic Design Meets Modern Craftsmanship

Every ECD Range Rover Classic is a reflection of its owner’s unique taste and vision. Some are timeless and understated, while others make bold statements.

Take Project Old School, for instance. Finished in radiant Cornish Cream Gloss with black detailing, this build captures the essence of classic elegance with modern refinement. Powered by a GM V8 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, it delivers vintage looks with everyday reliability.

Then there’s Project Makai, a 1995 Range Rover Classic finished in full-gloss Epsom Green Mica. This restomod blends rugged charm with luxury, featuring a powerful GM LS3 V8, Apple CarPlay, Infinity Kappa speakers, and USB connectivity throughout. Each project highlights ECD’s unmatched ability to merge nostalgia with innovation — producing vehicles that are as beautiful to drive as they are to behold.
