Preserving History, One Bolt at a Time

There is something special about a vintage Defender. The boxy silhouette, the utilitarian charm, the feeling of connecting with the road. It's a driving experience unlike any other.

We understand the value of originality. Our restoration process respects the heritage of the Land Rover Defender, preserving its classic aesthetic while addressing the wear and tear of decades.

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 Vintage Defender Preservation 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.
