Ask a question

Can I bring my own Defender for restoration?

At Monarch, we don't perform traditional restorations on client-supplied vehicles. We build every masterpiece from the ground up, starting with a new KTL-coated chassis and all-new components. However, we may accept your current Defender as a trade-in credit towards a new Monarch build. Please contact our team to discuss your vehicle.

How much does a Classic & Old Defender Restoration cost?

Pricing for our bespoke builds varies based on specifications. Typically, our complete range from $250,000 to $350,000+, which includes everything from the donor title to the final nut and bolt.
