KISSIMMEE, Fla., Sept. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Automotive Design proudly introduces Project Oliver, a 1996 Land Rover Defender D110 Signature Edition that redefines modern adventure. Purpose-built from the ground up, this hand-crafted Defender merges raw capability with elevated luxury, offering a seamless blend of rugged performance and refined design.

At its core, Project Oliver is powered by a robust LT1 V8 engine, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering commanding performance both on and off the road. Ready for sand and snow, this build has a central locking differential, heavy-duty axles, BREMBO brakes, and ECD’s signature Air Ride suspension, ensuring maximum control across every terrain.

Clad in Mercedes-Benz Obsidian Black Metallic, the exterior exudes stealth and sophistication. The wide-body stance, 18-inch Kahn 1983 wheels in satin black, and custom details, such as ceramic-coated dual exhaust tips and a bespoke steering guard etched with the name “Ollie,” set this Defender apart as both aggressive and elegant. Functional enhancements include a Warn heavy-duty winch, external roll cage, panoramic quarter windows, and full LED lighting systems for total visibility in any environment.

“Project Oliver is the embodiment of us building exactly what our client designs with uncompromising attention to detail,” said Scott Wallace, Co-Founder of ECD Automotive Design. “Every element was built to reflect its owner’s individuality while staying true to the Defender’s heritage.”

Inside, Project Oliver offers a premium, bespoke cabin crafted for both comfort and durability. The interior is wrapped in premium black leather with diamond stitching, complemented by a black suede headliner, German square-weave carpeting, and custom billet metal details. Front passengers enjoy Scheel-Mann Traveler seats with heating and cooling, while the rear accommodates a 60/40 split bench and inward-facing jump seats for versatile seating.

Technology upgrades include a touchscreen infotainment system with CarPlay and Bluetooth, premium Infinity Kappa audio, wireless charging, rear A/C, and a 360° external camera system. Modern conveniences such as remote start, digital rearview mirror, and TPMS sensors further elevate the driving experience while maintaining the Defender’s legendary spirit.
