"How much?" is the most important question, and one we hear often! The answer is - it depends!
We have fixed prices and set labour rates for as many jobs as we can, and we'll tell you what might be variable - up front. Most other restorers won't tell you, or will split out costs - but we believe with such an important project, you should be in control.
We only charge for labour, and don't make profit on parts - we'll even tell you which parts are needed, so you can source and send direct to us. We'll let you know when a range of options are available - and what might be a good idea (or not!).
We also provide an assessment service - we'll spend some time looking at your Defender and let you know what we recommend doing - with various options. This is free when you take a restoration, and around £50 as a standalone service.
You should budget between £20k and £50k for a restoration, depending on what you want done, and the starting condition of your Defender. For example, prices vary on parts (OEM, genuine, modified, etc), so this should be taken into account.
Our restored vehicles have typically been insured for a value of between £40-100k after full restoration - examples in our photo galleries here.
