For over 20 years, RiverHouse Landrover has been at the forefront of classic Defender restorations, creating vehicles that are more than just restored cars—they are statements of style, heritage, and unparalleled craftsmanship. Known for our iconic leather interiors & eye for detail, each Defender we restore embodies a blend of rugged tradition and modern luxury. The Defender’s timeless appeal continues to resonate with enthusiasts, making it a cherished icon in the automotive world.
At RiverHouse Landrover, restoring a Defender is a meticulous process that starts long before a single wrench is turned.
We start by sourcing the perfect rust-free donor vehicle from southern climates, ensuring compliance with US import regulations. This careful selection guarantees a solid foundation for your restoration.
Customization at RiverHouse Landrover goes beyond aesthetics—it’s about creating a Defender that fits your lifestyle and preserves the vehicle’s classic soul.
- Performance Philosophy: We believe that the heart of a Defender lies in its original engine, and we avoid swaps that compromise its character. Our performance upgrades focus on enhancing the existing powertrain for improved driving experience without losing its heritage.
- Interior Upgrades: Our interiors are a blend of classic and contemporary, with custom leather stitching, heated seats, and modern infotainment options like Apple CarPlay, tailored to each owner’s preferences.
- Exterior Customization: From oversized 35″ wheels to bespoke roll cages, we offer a range of exterior modifications that maintain the Defender’s iconic look while enhancing functionality.
