KISSIMMEE, Fla., Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ECD Auto Design, the world\u2019s largest Land Rover and Jaguar restoration company known for its bespoke Defenders, Range Rovers, Jaguar E-Types, Ford Mustangs, Toyota FJs, Porsche 911s and the ECDXCTC INEOS Grenadier and Defender II, produces Project Belltown, a long-wheelbase Range Rover Classic that is a visceral reminder of why driving once felt personal, mechanical, and deeply rewarding.<\/p>\n

Finished in Land Rover Aspen Silver, the exterior pays homage to the Range Rover\u2019s timeless design. The Brooklands body kit, Mini-Lite wheels, and subtle black accents sharpen its presence while preserving the elegance that made the Classic an icon in the first place. It\u2019s familiar at a glance with ECD\u2019s industry-leading craftsmanship and attention to detail elevating Belltown\u2019s execution.<\/p>\n

On the road, Project Belltown feels like distant memories paired with a rush of exhilaration fueling a truly effortless drive. Turn the key, and that nostalgia is met with a surge of power, an 800-horsepower, supercharged 6.2L V8 that transforms those memories into motion. ECD\u2019s air ride suspension smooths the pavement beneath you, gliding over imperfections while maintaining control through corners. Brembo brakes provide reassuring stopping power, allowing the driver to fully enjoy the experience without hesitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had to describe Belltown, how the truck feels when you\u2019re behind the wheel, the way it responds, the sound of the engine as you roll into the throttle, it\u2019s definitely a build that creates a quiet sense of satisfaction that comes from driving something so familiar built with modern power,\u201d said Scott Wallace, CEO of ECD Automotive Design. \u201cThis is a Range Rover Classic the way it was meant to be experienced, honest and classic, with the ability to be a vehicle for all reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the moment you settle into the cabin, Project Belltown reconnects you with the soul of the original Range Rover Classic. The upright seating position, expansive glass, and commanding view of the road instantly evoke an era when SUVs were designed to engage the driver.<\/p>\n

Project Belltown\u2019s interior includes a blend of heritage cues with period-appropriate details, hand-selected and expertly installed. Porsche Nappa leather, antique-style gauges, dark grey wood trim, and diamond-stitched seating create an environment that feels warm, intentional, and unmistakably analog in spirit. Belltown has a cabin designed to immerse passengers into a time where radios needed to be tuned and looking out the passenger windows was a true pastime.<\/p>\n

With Project Belltown, ECD Autodesign delivers the feeling of driving as it once was, and as it should always be. For more information about Project Belltown, visit ecdautodesign.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
