KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA, March 12, 2020 — E.C.D. Automotive Design, known for their full ground-up restorations of classic Land Rovers, has restored a Land Rover Defender 110 in Super White gloss paint, an Explorer ladder, and a 565-horsepower LS3 engine with the power for the ultimate 4×4 drive.
“This is a great example of a custom E.C.D defender restoration where 2,200 man hours have retained the classic heritage of the defender look while providing modern performance and luxury — creating a true one of one vehicle for our client,” says Founder, Scott.
Project Alpaca is one of E.C.D Automotive Designs most aggressive trucks built for pure performance with it’s custom ECD air suspension, custom 20-inch ECD forged wheels, and fully upgraded 565-horsepower LS3 engine. Custom white Brembo brakes compliment Project Alpaca’s beautiful Super White gloss exterior. Its heritage styled grille holds a Tubular A bar bumper stocked with a Warn winch making it the ultimate vehicle for go-anywhere adventures.
Contrasting its white exterior, Project Alpaca is upholstered in luxurious black hand-trimmed Nappa Schwarz leather with diamond stitching throughout. Passengers can sit comfortably in ultra-smooth classic Puma seats. A Nardi Deep Corn steering wheel adds a touch of heritage to an otherwise all-modern vehicle complete with wireless charging for mobile devices, remote locking, and a premium JL Audio sound system.
