Land Rover and Jaguar restoration company ECD Automotive Design announced the opening of its seasonal pop-up location at 10 Easy Street in Nantucket, just in time for the island’s Daffodil Festival Weekend that runs April 24-27. ECD says this marks the beginning of a full calendar of events and engagements running through December 2025.
On the island now are two ECD vehicles—each showcasing a different side of the brand’s one-of-one craftsmanship. Leading the season is Project Essex, a Bahama Gold Defender 110 soft top from ECD’s new County Collection, inspired by the historic counties of England, according to the press release. Under the hood, a 6.2L GM LT1 V8 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission deliver a powerful, smooth drive, while the interior features premium leather seating and refined utility—blending rugged capability with coastal sophistication.
Also on the island is Project Race, a vintage-inspired white Land Rover Series III 109 with iconic lines and an analog driving experience. Powered by a 6.2L GM LS3 V8 and 5-speed manual transmission, Project Race honors classic British style with a modern performance twist. Company officials say it will proudly represent ECD in the Antique Car Parade during Daffodil Weekend.
Both vehicles are available for viewing and test drives and may be rotated throughout the season as they are sold or delivered. ECD is encouraging visitors to stop by 10 Easy Street to experience these one-of-one builds.
A Place of Exploration & Learning
The 10 Easy Street pop-up is designed to be a creative hub and relaxed gathering space where potential clients can explore ECD’s luxury design process and connect with the brand in an approachable, engaging way. A dedicated brand ambassador is available for private consultations, test drive coordination, and to guide clients through the steps of a custom build experience.
“We’re not just bringing vehicles to the island—we’re creating moments,” said Kevin Kastner, chief revenue officer at ECD. “This is about connecting with people who love design, adventure and storytelling. Our pop-up is an open door to experience what it feels like to dream up something that’s completely yours—and then see it brought to life.”
Throughout the year, ECD will also be collaborating with local Nantucket brands on unique lifestyle experiences, culminating in the reveal of a Nantucket Special Edition vehicle later this summer. Designed to reflect the island’s character, the one-off build will showcase the intersection of bespoke automotive design and local inspiration, noted the release.
Every ECD vehicle is designed and hand-built in the USA at the company’s 100,000-square-foot facility in Kissimmee, Florida. Each build takes over 2,200 hours, blending classic Land Rover style with modern performance, luxury and personalization.
