KISSIMMEE, Fla., Dec. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ECD Auto Design<\/u><\/a> (ECD), the world\u2019s largest bespoke Land Rover restoration company, today releases Project Island Girl. An LT1-powered vintage Defender 110, the white beauty adds a timeless, classy elegance to delightful days at the golf course.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur expert designers take a classic Defender and outfit it with all the bells and whistles you\u2019d expect out of a normal 2023 luxury car on top of ensuring it\u2019s able to meet all the client\u2019s needs,\u201d said Tom Humble, CXO and co-founder of ECD. \u201cProject Island Girl is a testament to the first-class design and build process we\u2019ve created here at ECD. As we look to next year, we\u2019re excited to keep bringing client fantasies to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The driver will relish pulling up to the country club in the luxurious Project Island Girl Build. All-white, the pristine older Defender sits on All Terrain tires and 18-inch Sawtooth wheels, utterly eliminating the need for golf carts. With a full-sized roof rack and ladder to access it, there\u2019s plenty of space for all eight passengers\u2019 golf clubs to make it to the course. The vintage Defender\u2019s one touch of color is fire-engine red Brembo brakes.<\/p>\n

Inside, passengers have access to an unparalleled stylish experience, with premium tan leather Corbeau Trailcat seats. Black leather accents \u2013 including the Puma dashboard and extended center console, All American gauges and NARDI Acorn steering wheel enhance the golfing journey, updating the nostalgic British offroader with 21st-century features. Other modern technology upgrades are perfect for the music lover of the family, with a Premium Hertz Miele System with four woofers, four tweeters and one subwoofer on top of access to CarPlay, Bluetooth and satellite radio.<\/p>\n
