The old Land Rover Defender gets a new lease of life from Polish tuner, which builds new and improved models from scratch
It looked like the iconic Land Rover Defender was dead, but thanks to specialist tuner Land Serwis, it’s possible to order an all-new build of the classic 4x4.
The Polish firm is able to build new Defenders from scratch, as it has the tooling to build each component to the original specification. Some parts are even improved; the frame, for example, is stronger and thicker than the original, say Land Serwis, and the galvanized chassis is described as being ‘virtually eternal’.

While Land Serwis can keep its Defenders faithful to the originals, customers can also build their car to bespoke specifications. Land Serwis suggests that this could include extra chassis bracing, additional metalwork to accommodate a mechanical winch or lift or even relocated mounting points for a new engine.
