What Makes the Land Rover Defender 130 Unique?
The Legacy of a Legend
The original Land Rover Defender 130 dates back to 1948, when its ancestor was developed from an ex-army Jeep-style vehicle. Originally working hard as an agricultural companion or exploration vehicle, today, the Defender is hailed as a paragon of luxury that retains its off-roading heritage. ECD Auto Design has restored and built over 400 custom Land Rovers since 2013, with the Defender 130 becoming a top choice for clients seeking space, power, and style. Our builds have been featured in respected automotive media outlets like Robb Report and Top Gear, underscoring our team’s reputation as an authority in the world of bespoke vehicle design. We understand the history and nostalgia connected to Land Rover heritage and complement that with our mechanical knowledge and skills, plus hands-on experience from hundreds of builds. Your input is the critical ingredient — you choose what you want in your Defender, and we bring your vision to life. Leverage Defender versatility, whether you need a truck for family adventures, a unique build for an expedition, or you want the perfect vehicle for overlanding.
Performance and Configuration Options
Choosing your Defender 130 specifications is easy with ECD. You can pick from various drivetrain options, including the LS3 GM V8, the LT1, or even a fully electric option. Decide how stiff you need your suspension, what brakes suit you best, and ask about performance upgrades for a better off-roading experience. Our team invests in the highest quality parts and drivetrains, so you can trust that your new Land Rover Defender 130 is reliable, easy to service, and carries parts that are widely available if you need repairs or replacements in the future. You can choose a four- or five-seat configuration, both of which include a practical truck bed that can be further customized to your needs. An integrated picnic drawer allows you to enjoy the outdoor spaces you explore in style while gullwing storage boxes neatly tuck away practical accessories and tools. You can even deck your truck bed out in premium materials, such as Brazilian teakwood. Just tell us your ideas and we’ll do our best to make them happen.
Designing Your Defender 130 Experience
When you choose a custom Land Rover Defender 130, it’s no exaggeration that you’re in control of every feature. From performance to customization and luxury finishes, your 130 can be completely unique. Take a look at the showcase of previous builds we’ve completed to see just how different each of our Defenders is — and how personal to the owner and the use case. For family-focused buyers, we can talk you through rear-seat entertainment options to help make adventures run even smoother. We can add wireless charging pads and smartphone connectivity to keep everyone connected. Or if you’re ready to explore off the beaten track, opt for a rugged expedition look, complete with roof racks and other accessories. One of the best aspects of the Defender 130 is its versatility and ability to blend practicality and luxury with zero compromise. Every ECD build includes a detailed consultation phase where we learn about your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and driving habits. This ensures the final product is more than a luxury vehicle; it’s an extension of your personality. Our clients regularly praise the team's balance of craftsmanship and innovation. One recent owner said, "This build exceeded every expectation — the attention to detail is unreal, and the power behind the wheel is something you have to feel to believe."
Built for Everyone Who Loves to Adventure
Who is the Land Rover Defender 130 for? As an extended truck with an interior built for comfort, its fan base is as diverse as its customization options. This isn’t the type of vehicle you only roll out on a weekend — D130s are built for everyday life and ready for anything. The longer chassis means more space and more options to take cargo, passengers, pets, sports gear, or anything else wherever you want. Plus, the quality build and off-roading heritage mean it can stand up to the demands of just about any journey.
The 130’s commanding presence combines with serious capability to deliver a true “go-anywhere” driving experience. ECD clients take their 130s across deserts, through mountain terrain, and on urban commutes, which is a real testament to the Defender’s ability to handle any terrain. With your personalized modern tech and quiet, refined interiors, the ride is just as exciting as the destination.
Each and every one of our vehicles are custom built to your exact specifications. Below you will see our model range and trim level for each of our vehicles. After selecting your model and trim level, you will undergo a full design phase with our team to tailor the vehicle to your precise aesthetic specification.
