We started from a galvanised chassis.
The axles are reconditioned before being refitted.
	The axles are in place so the job can be moved about.
Starting to fit the bodywork on.
	The bodywork at a slightly more advanced stage. Don't bother about the colours too much at this stage...
Starting to look the right colour.
	All done. Looks like new.

Rebuilt Series II/III

As well as supplying rebuilt Defenders we can also supply older vehicles rebuilt to the same high standards. These Series vehicles can be rebuilt either to concours standards or to the customer's own specification and can be updated to resemble the latest defenders. "Mod Cons" can be added for more comfort and safety, and each vehicle is personalised to your own specification. A complete photographic history is supplied for your future reference and to see the depth of the works. Be it a standard Series IIA for export to America or a coil-sprung V8 LWB station wagon for delivery to Birmingham we can provide the complete service.

All vehicles are supplied with a full MOT, road fund licence (where applicable) and a comprehensive warranty. They are waxoyled and body schulzted and we welcome any outside inspection (RAC, AA, etc.).
