Step into the past with the ECD Classic project, where nostalgia intertwines with modern craftsmanship. Picture yourself behind the wheel of an iconic Defender 90 or 110, meticulously designed to replicate its original glory from 25 years ago. With the ECD Classic, the thrill of owning a classic Defender model is revived, yet its timeless aesthetic, powertrain, and standard equipment remain intact, offering an authentic experience reminiscent of its debut day. Embrace the opportunity to journey back in time, as the ECD Classic is presented as a base model, boasting the same standard features as its predecessor straight off the assembly line.
“It took me a year to decide to buy from ECD, and today I'm 100% happy that I did. They built the car exactly the way I thought it was going to look in 3D, so there's nothing left to chance. During the building process, the options were off the charts! I think I put about every option you could put on it… The delivery process was fantastic! What's most important when you buy a hand-built, expensive machine like this is the quality and driving experience. I drive this vehicle almost every day, and I have had zero issues! Any operator error quest-problems were explained to me quickly and clearly. Very happy with my wonderful experience!
“Thank you for coming up here and all the work you did in the horrid cold. I appreciate your attention to detail and the long days invested in my build. Thank you for your patience, and I really appreciate ECD standing behind the work they did. You have two incredible employees here with Karen and Glenn!
“I received my truck on Saturday morning and it is truly a work of art - such a gorgeous vehicle! The craftsmanship looks top-notch. It's also really fun to drive. Love the sound and feel of the LT1. I also appreciate the Turbo Time baby onesie included in the welcome box. I think I may have only mentioned that my wife is pregnant once or twice, and so the fact that this was noted and the gift included shows a strong attention to detail. Thank you, ECD
“I wanted to thank Tom and the ECD team for my ECD Defender 90, Project ROAD. I recently received it and am enjoying it to the fullest. It’s beautiful, and exactly what I had hoped for when we first discussed the project back in January 2023. I especially want to compliment Brandon for holding my hand during the build process…he did an excellent job. He has a terrific, relatable way about him, which is worth its weight in gold from a client service perspective. My thanks and best to the entire team, including you, Emily, John, Sarah (life saver on the laborious registration hassle), the teardown team, the fab team, Igor and the drive train team providing power that delivers, Jonathan rocking the electrical station (saving me from the notorious British electronics, the paint lab (all my buddies love the Arles blue), Angel and the upholstery gang making the interior butter soft, Jordan working the cosmetics better than anyone at Neiman Marcus could do, and finally Josh and the quality team paying attention to the smallest final details. Thank you, and best regards.
“It’s been a week since we received the D90. It is a remarkable vehicle, a blast to drive, and exceeds expectations. The craftsmanship is outstanding — I have explored every nook and cranny. The D90 is super comfortable to drive with an engine that is a perfect match. Absolutely wonderful and worth the wait. Great job!
