KISSIMMEE, Fla., Jan. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Auto Design, the renowned leader in bespoke luxury vehicles, proudly announces the completion of its 600th SUV, a monumental achievement in its 12-year journey of redefining automotive customization. Since 2013, ECD Auto Design has earned its reputation by handcrafting each vehicle as a one-of-one masterpiece, uniquely tailored to reflect the style, vision, and personality of its owner. With a portfolio that now spans across several iconic vehicle lines, SUV’s were at the start and core of ECD’s legacy. Our 600th SUV build is a Land Rover Defender, a milestone that holds special significance as it reflects the very foundation of our business and the vehicle that started it all and stands as a testament to the company’s unwavering dedication to craftsmanship and personalization.

A Legacy Built One Story at a Time

This is not merely a production milestone, it’s a celebration of 600 distinct journeys, each one beginning with a blank canvas and culminating in a unique expression of individuality. Speaking regarding the beginning of each client journey, John Price, ECD’s Director of Design, shared: “Every build at ECD starts with a conversation, a spark of a client’s dream. From discovering their vision to walking them through the design phase, we’re crafting more than just a vehicle. We’re shaping their story into something tangible and extraordinary.”

A Celebration of Craftsmanship: Where Rugged Capability Meets Refined Elegance

This milestone commemorative Defender 110 is a masterful blend of rugged capability and refined elegance. Finished in a timeless Keswick Green with matching body accents, the vehicle’s bold exterior is complemented by 20-inch retro-style wheels, a sleek black roll cage, and a set of LED lights that hint at its adventurous spirit.

Inside, the Defender exudes sophistication with plush Granite leather seating, a custom French oak cargo area, and modern technology, including a touchscreen stereo and rear air conditioning. Powered by a roaring GM LT1 V8 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, this one-of-a-kind creation offers exhilarating performance alongside luxurious comfort.

“Reaching 600 SUVs is a profound achievement, as each one is a testament to our dedication to individuality, craftsmanship, and pursuit of perfection.” said Emily Humble, Chief Production Officer and Co-Founder of ECD Auto Design. “This milestone is a credit to ECD's ability to deliver highly customized one-of-one builds at scale, continuing our strong year on year production growth”.
