The first releases in this Exclusive Inventory expansion are ECD Custom Defender 110 builds powered by the GM LT1 V8 engine. They feature high-performance Alcon brakes, ECD Air Ride suspension and Borla stainless-steel dual-exit exhausts. Additionally, both models include a six-point full external roll cage, custom CNC metal exterior fittings and 20-inch Kahn Mondial Retro wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires.
“These stunning custom Defender 110s are part of the ECD Exclusive Inventory lineup for 2025, catering to those who desire the very best, without delay,” said Kevin Kastner, chief revenue officer of ECD Auto Design. “Each vehicle is meticulously crafted by our skilled artisans to a specification selected by our founders that provides thrilling performance alongside luxury touchpoints and innovative features.”
Exclusive Inventory Project 001 embraces a classic and heritage-inspired look, featuring a Keswick Green exterior with body-colored checker plates and silver brake calipers. The interior has Granite leather upholstery accented by charcoal stitching. It also incorporates French oak wood paneling in the cargo area, while its radio console is painted to match the body color.
In contrast, Exclusive Inventory Project 002 has a bold and stealthy black exterior, complemented by black checker plates and red brake calipers, giving it a more aggressive stance. Inside, you’ll find black leather with black stitching along with black vintage wood paneling in the cargo area.
Both vehicles feature Corbeau Trailcat seats (heated in the front), a touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay, a custom ECD center console with rear A/C and a digital rearview mirror. Additional features like backup sensors, remote start and central locking blend modern functionality with vintage aesthetics.
These two one-of-one builds and those to follow exemplify ECD Auto Design’s commitment to tailored craftsmanship, where every detail is considered. With an unparalleled blend of heritage, performance and innovation, ECD continues to push the boundaries of what a classic Land Rover Defender can be, per the press release.
