THIS BESPOKE DEFENDER 110 IS SO LUX; IT FEATURES A CUSTOM BUILT-IN PICNIC DRAWER — WINE GLASSES INCLUDED

KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA, April 7, 2020 — E.C.D. Automotive Design, known for its bespoke, high-end luxury vehicles, has delivered an all-modern Land Rover Defender 110 with a range of jaw-dropping custom features.

Named Project Rowdy, this custom Defender 110 is painted in the classic Land Rover color, British Racing Green. Powered by a 6.2L LS3 engine with a 6-speed transmission, Project Rowdy has Brembo braking with an ECD Air Ride suspension system. Perfect for its northern climate, the vehicle’s front features a Warn winch sitting on a custom built ECD Winch Bumper and is complete with daytime running lights. The full external roll cage, L.E.D. spotlights, and Sawtooth wheels make this truck perfect for going off-grid and the urban environment.

Project Rowdy has an interior that is entirely luxury throughout, with Recaro Orthoped seats wrapped in clean Hand Tipped leather and extra legroom for passengers. The vehicle’s modern touches include an E.C.D. extended console with wireless charging stations for the front and rear, a front-facing camera for parking assistance, heated blind spot mirrors, and cooled cup holders.

What truly sets Project Rowdy apart is the bespoke Thewlis Gregson Picnic Drawer that is built into the vehicle’s rear storage. The picnic drawer has cut-outs specifically suited to hold the client’s unique and ideal picnic essentials, including silverware, mugs, wine glasses, and of course, a shotgun. The custom picnic drawer also perfectly matches the build’s British Racing Green exterior.

“Traditionally, clients opt for bench seats or more storage, but our client selected a stunning Thewlis Gregson cabinet that is by far one of the most unique details we’ve put in a 110 to date,” says Founder, Tom.
