Our Vision: Bringing Classic Land Rovers Back to Life

At Phoenix Restorations, our vision is simple yet powerful: to breathe new life into classic Land Rover Defenders, blending expert craftsmanship with attainable value.

We are dedicated to preserving the legacy of these iconic vehicles, ensuring that every restoration reflects strength, durability, and timeless character. Our goal is to make exceptional Defender ownership accessible—allowing enthusiasts worldwide to experience the thrill of driving a fully restored, adventure-ready Land Rover.

Each Defender 110 and Series 3 model we restore is more than just a vehicle—it’s a piece of history, a work of art, and a gateway to exploration. By maintaining authenticity while incorporating modern upgrades, we create reliable, road-ready Defenders built to last.

At Phoenix Restorations, we believe that every Defender should tell a story—one of adventure, resilience, and timeless appeal.

A Word From the Founder

As it is in the hearts of all men, there lies a call for adventure. The desire to meet the unknown, to break into new territory. At Phoenix Restorations, we believe that an individual’s character is shaped by how they face challenges and the unknown—how they navigate uncharted territory.

It’s this same spirit of exploration and resilience that defines both our vehicles and their owners.

I will never forget my first 1991 Land Rover Defender 110. There was nowhere I didn’t take that car. The thrill of driving it, combined with my deep-rooted love for adventure and an appreciation for classic aesthetics lost in modern vehicles, drove me to start restoring these remarkable machines.

For decades, the Land Rover Defender has been known as one of the most rugged and adventure-driven vehicles ever built. It is a machine that refuses to be tamed—whether conquering off-road trails, crossing deserts, or simply navigating city streets, every ride feels like a journey into the unknown.

We believe that owning a Defender is a privilege, but that privilege shouldn’t come with the frustration of piecing together a restoration. Instead, it should be an experience that combines the joy of classic car ownership with the reliability of modern craftsmanship.

That’s why we are committed to making these vehicles more attainable—so that more enthusiasts can own a fully restored Defender without the stress of unreliable mechanics or overpriced restorations.

With a team of expert mechanics who have over 30 years of experience working on Land Rovers, and Italian precision in our finishing touches, Phoenix Restorations ensures that each Defender is restored with the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.

We take pride in our work and hope to amaze you with our vehicles.

Best regards,

Philippe B. De Andria
