East Coast Defender builds premium Land Rover Defenders and classic Range Rovers in their Florida manufacturing facility. They’ve cooked up two new variations on the theme, calling them Project Venture and Project Dark Knight.

Based on a Defender 110, the Project Venture does, with its Keswick Green paint and t-square styling, look as traditionally British as a rainy day and warm beer. Pop the bonnet hood, though, and you’ll find a 6.2-liter Chevy LS3 making 430 horsepower teamed with a six-speed automatic. Not traditional at all, then.

Its exoskeleton roll cage is topped with a rear ladder and roof rack, perfect for bringing extra gear on the trail. A Warn VR8 winch bumper is found up front along with a set of modern LED daytime running lights. BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires wrap 18-inch wheels at each corner and powder coated side steps complete the off-road look.

It’s not a bare-bones trail brute, though. Atypical electronics show up inside Project Venture, including a raft of USB ports, wireless device charging, and a Sony infotainment system. Quilted material lines the seats and a Momo Jet steering wheel faces the driver.

Project Dark Knight, on the other hand, is a study in design meant to stop traffic on Wilshire Avenue. Polished 20-inch wheels fitted with BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/As aren’t exactly made for the trail but certainly bring the bling. Check-plated side steps, exterior roll cage, a winch, and LED spotlights round out the exterior.

It definitely focuses more on design than its Venture half-brother. While not up to the gonzo levels of power found in the Venture, it still packs a 5.3-liter LC9 making 320 horsepower. Not too shabby.

This hand-built Project Dark Knight, based on the Defender 110 like the Project Venture, amps up the luxury with a bespoke interior featuring quilted caramel seats that wouldn’t look out of place in a Rolls or Bentley. A Momo wheel shows up here too, albeit one of a different design, through which peep a set of Moal Bomber gauges.

“It’s a journey like no other for our clients,” promises Tom Humble, co-owner of East Coast Defender.  “We’re the only custom automotive design company in the world where customers have the opportunity to create their dream car completely from scratch.”

Once a customer commissions East Coast Defender for a project, a special Design Kit is shipped to the new owner that includes a variety of paint, leather, and wheel samples to help prepare for upcoming design meetings. New owners are then flown to one of the companies two Design Studios (California or Florida) or visited at the location of their choice to sit down with the Head of Automotive Design where they will discuss each facet of the design journey.

Safe to say, then, buyers are getting a one-of-a-kind vehicle.
