Envisioned over a few packs of beer by three British “petrol heads” with a shared love for old Defenders, E.C.D. arose from humble beginnings in 2013. Initially based out of a tiny one-bay warehouse, the founders worked countless 18-hour days together with a handful of staff, stripping down these vintage trucks and meticulously rebuilding them to each client’s taste over a 2,200-hour build process while preserving the prestige of the antiques. Gaining renown thanks to the company’s premier concierge-style client experience, engineering prowess, precise quality control and hunger to push boundaries through innovation, E.C.D. evolved into a thriving multi-million-dollar enterprise with loyal clientele and a skyrocketing demand for its expanding line-up of custom-restored Jaguar Land Rover builds.
