Philosophy

Our Passion

 

A road in the forest, wheels spinning in the mud, the roaring V8 waiting to unleash its power, being heard a mile away through the woods. This is how it all began, our passion to become one with the car, to feel the engines power , to overcome extreme obstacles. That was some 20 years ago back in 1995 , but since we started this business we\'ve put our hands in countless Land Rovers all over the world, and our passion developed in expertise.

And then it was the desert. Our car running in the Sahara, competing in one of the most challenging rallies, the Lybia Rally Raid 2010. We built from scratch one brand new Defender and three used ones, organised and prepared the team, funded the mission and executed our participation in the rally ourselves, building our expertise. That was thrilling. Overcoming unknown obstacles from planning , to actually running and finally crossing the finish line with great success. This is who we are , daring to face the unknown, daring to innovate at all levels of a custom manufacture, daring to break the rules.Thats why more than 150 spare parts of your cars are customly made by our engineers in our workshops.
And then again, there was another need. Those cars , those muddy, torn, tough cars, had be elegantly present, exposing their unique character and personality on the cosmopolitan roads of Myconos, where they were destined to give prominence to their distinctive owner.
We are bulding cars that will let you enjoy an outstanding performance offroad, they will happily surprise you with their driving experience on the highway, and will make you feel special and distinctive driving your globally unique, elegant vehicle in any cosmopolitan venue.
This is the experience and joy offered only to the very few and very special owners.

Are you going to be one of them?

Our Philosophy

 

We are rebuilding Land Rovers the way they should have been built at first place. No matter your needs, extreme off road, on-off, or high performance sportscar its a customers choice only. While being an off road vehicle, being a luxury car at the same time. While being mudy, being a status symbol at the same time.
We rebuild them to last for generations, using the best currently available high technology or old school handcraft practices. We redesign their exterior, we redesign their interior, we redesign their drivetrain. They are meant not to brake down, with minimum maintenance. They are meant to perform both off road or on the highway better than any car in their category. They are meant to be distinctive like a supercar. They are meant to pass from generation to generation in our customers families.
We make art, and those cars are pieces of art! And each one is different, like its owner, build through unlimited choices with perfect finishing in every detail. This is what will give those cars high value through time, and from one generation to the next one.
