Optical and technical refreshing of young classic cars is a big thing in the automotive world within the last few years. Some know this as ‘restomods’. In Kissimmee\/Florida a company called ECD Automotive Design is at home and works on Land Rover Defenders \u2013 ECD means East Coast Defenders by the way. This is astonishing as only a small amount of Defenders arrived in the USA in a small period of years. Now ECD widens their field by also working on Range Rover Classics with the internal title Project Alpha. RRCs have been sold in the US between 1987 and 1995, so searching for base cars is an easier task as with the Defenders.

Originally Range Rover Classics are known for a good mix of comfort, luxury and power. The US version came only with the 3.9 (later 4.2) litres V8 engine combined with an automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive. For Project Alpha customers can choose colors, rims, tires, drivetrain and accessoires before building starts. They get as much help as they want from the ECD design team. When configuration is finished the team starts working by disassembling the base car to the last nut and bolt. Afterwards every part is restored to best condition or replaced with new parts. The bodywork is stripped from paint, repaired if necessary and painted in the color the customer ordered.<\/p>\n\n\n
