The short answer

Monarch Defender sells restomod Land Rover Defenders two ways: occasional completed builds available for immediate purchase, and bespoke commissions built to your specification over 6 to 12 months. Every vehicle is built from the ground up in Grayslake, Illinois with GM V8 power, and complete builds range from $250,000 to $350,000+.

The Monarch Standard

Restomod Defenders, Available and Bespoke

A restomod Defender keeps the classic shape and adds modern power, comfort, and reliability. Monarch builds each one ground-up from its own donor with a new chassis and a modern GM V8.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have restomods ready now, or is it build to order?

Both. We occasionally have completed builds available for immediate purchase, and most clients commission a bespoke build to their exact specification over 6 to 12 months.

What comes standard on a Monarch restomod?

Every build includes a new KTL-coated chassis, GM LS3 or LT1 V8 power, a modern automatic, hand-stitched leather, modern climate control, and Apple CarPlay.

Should I buy a completed build or commission one?

A completed build means no wait, while a commission gives you control of every specification. Our team can walk you through current availability and help you decide.
