Each vehicle in this limited-edition series is named after a UK county or region, featuring an exclusive color palette inspired by its history, natural beauty, and timeless elegance.
A Tribute to UK Craftsmanship and Exploration:
With its roots deeply embedded in British automotive culture, ECD Auto Design was founded on a passion for restoring and reimagining iconic Land Rovers. The County Collection embodies this legacy, merging the heritage of classic Defenders with contemporary luxury and performance. Unlike ECD’s fully custom builds, these meticulously crafted Defenders are available for immediate purchase, offering a rare opportunity to own a bespoke ECD creation without the wait.
"With the County Collection, we wanted to craft something extraordinary that reflects our heritage while providing an immediate ownership experience for collectors and enthusiasts," said Kevin Kastner, Chief Revenue Officer at ECD Auto Design. "Each Defender in this series is a work of art, designed to capture the essence of its namesake county—blending timeless UK influence with modern craftsmanship and performance."
A Curated Palette of the UK’s Iconic Regions:
Each Defender in the County Collection draws inspiration from the colors and character of a distinct UK county or region. The debut models include:
Beyond a Vehicle—An Exclusive ECD Ownership Experience
Owning a County Collection Defender is more than just acquiring a vehicle; it’s about embracing the full ECD experience. Each purchase includes:
A Personalized Client Experience – Owners receive a dedicated introduction to their Defender from the ECD Client Experience Team.
The ECD Journey Book – A beautifully curated book detailing the vehicle’s unique design inspiration, heritage, and craftsmanship.
Industry-Leading Warranty & Service – Every County Collection Defender comes with the same premium warranty and post-purchase support as ECD’s custom builds.
"An ECD Defender isn’t just about transportation—it’s about storytelling, craftsmanship, and exclusivity," added Kastner. "The County Collection gives enthusiasts a chance to own a uniquely inspired ECD build, ready to drive home today, while still enjoying the same meticulous quality and personalized service that define our brand."
