KISSIMMEE, Fla., April 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- E.C.D. Automotive Design (E.C.D.), the world’s largest Land Rover restoration company known for its custom luxury builds – including personalized Defenders, Range Rovers and E-Types – reveals an elite LT1 Defender 110 perfect for summertime vacations. Deemed Project Georgica, this classic Land Rover Defender will call the New York Hamptons home and is ideal for venturing out to a wine tasting at a local vineyard or bringing the whole family together under the sun.

“When people are looking for custom Defenders at this level, there are only a few options to choose from, and no one matches us in terms of quality, options and customer service. We treat the client like family, and our reputation speaks for itself – even to our fellow Brits,” said chief technology officer and co-founder of E.C.D. Elliot Humble. “This client’s unique offroader is absolutely marvelous for the summertime – and is sure to be beloved by the drivers and passengers alike”

Designed by a U.K.-based client, this convertible Defender nods to its iconic history with a glossy Arles Blue finish. The vintage soft-top vehicle is elevated on 32-inch all-terrain tires, perfect for open-air cruising along the 30 mile stretch of Hamptons coastline. The build oozes practical luxury, with E.C.D.’s in-house suspension and brake systems for smooth journeys – helping the driver enjoy any seaside excursion. Optimized for utility, Project Georgica features a classic NAS bumper with a hitch receiver and trailer plug for hauling the boat to the ocean for scenic sunsets. After dark, the driver can switch on the four round LED spotlights – two on each side of the multi-point roll cage – for safe rides under the starlight.

The sophisticated midnight tones continue inside, with all nine caviar-black seats broken up with cool gray inserts, streamlined with chic vertical diamond stitching. Conceived for small-town living at a Hamptons home, this Defender 110’s grand driving experience begins long before your foot hits the gas. Its first-class MOMO Prototipo steering wheel and Puma dashboard are both wrapped in the same luxurious Italian leather as the seats. To keep family valuables safe during beach days, Project Georgica features a hidden floor lock box to safely store belongings. For cherished time together exploring the countryside, exploring local museums and visiting Montauk Point State Park, the one-of-one build’s audio system comes equipped with cutting-edge speakers, CarPlay and Bluetooth – plus plenty of USB ports to keep every device charged and ready for the next adventure.
