KISSIMMEE, FL – May 30, 2019 – E.C.D. Automotive Design is known for consistently building high-end luxury Defenders, each one fully restored from the ground up. Their most recently delivered vehicle is a stunningly bold Defender 90 Convertible. Visually, the British icon looks every bit luxurious. Underneath, this Defender 90 is fully built for rugged off-road adventures with plenty of power.

Its project name chosen by the client, Project Desert Storm, is well-suited. The exterior of this Defender 90 convertible is finished in classic Corris Grey Metallic and is paired with Kahn Mondial Retro wheels and a 2-inch lift for a slightly aggressive look. The Chevy LS3 V8 engine under the hood produces 430-horsepower, making this Defender 90 Convertible incredibly thrilling to drive.

The interior of Project Desert Storm is more reminiscent of a modern sports car than the original British classic. The two-tone leather interior in Berkshire Scarlet Red and black leather is absolutely stunning. From inside the cabin, it doesn’t seem much at all like an off-road vehicle, as there are plenty of modern comforts such as in-vehicle WiFi, a wireless charging pad for mobile devices, USB ports, premium JL Audio sound system, and a custom black Momo Prototipo steering wheel with Scarlet Red stitching to match the leather.
