At Shoreline Vehicles, our passion for restoring and modernising classic Land Rover models is driven by a commitment to craftsmanship and detail. Whether you're a collector or a first-time enthusiast, we specialise in transforming vintage utility vehicles into showstopping, road-ready machines. From the beloved 97 Land Rover Defender to the unique Land Rover 101 FC, our bespoke services cover every stage of restoration and performance enhancement.

Restoring the 97 Land Rover Defender

The 97 Land Rover Defender is widely considered one of the most desirable years for enthusiasts—combining the rugged build of the traditional Defender with subtle mechanical refinements that make it a joy to drive. At Shoreline, we've restored multiple ‘97 Defenders into reliable, daily-drivable vehicles that retain their rugged appeal but come packed with modern comfort and safety features.

Breathing New Life Into Classic Land Rovers

As experts in classic Land Rover restoration, we understand the importance of preserving authenticity while introducing high-performance upgrades. From bodywork to engine overhauls, Shoreline's team ensures every project honours the original design language. Our team's familiarity with different models—like the Land Rover Series 88 and the Defender—means we can confidently recreate or reimagine the most iconic vehicles in Land Rover's legacy.

The Allure of the Refurbished Land Rover

A refurbished Land Rover from Shoreline isn't just repaired—it's reimagined. We take aged chassis and transform them into modern classics with fresh drivetrains, upgraded interiors, and custom styling. Our clients love the ability to blend nostalgia with new-age comfort, ensuring these vehicles are both beautiful and functional.

Rare Finds: The Land Rover 101 FC & Forward Control

The Land Rover 101 FC (Forward Control) is a rare military-spec utility vehicle originally developed for the British Army. Known for its boxy proportions and standout profile, it's a collector's dream. Shoreline proudly sources, restores, and updates these hard-to-find rigs with custom drivetrains, updated suspension, and tasteful interior upgrades.

Our experience with the Land Rover Forward Control platform also extends to camper conversions and expedition builds, making them ideal for those seeking something truly unique.

Inspired by East Coast Defender

We take cues from custom builders like East Coast Defender, merging traditional Land Rover DNA with upscale finishes and powerful engine swaps. Every Shoreline build delivers the same level of exclusivity and quality—offering luxury interiors, premium paint finishes, and seamless drivability on- or off-road.

Celebrating the Land Rover Series 88

The Series 88 Land Rover is one of the purest expressions of Land Rover's utilitarian history. At Shoreline, we honour its roots with authentic restorations while providing optional upgrades such as power steering, modern brakes, and upgraded lighting—all designed to maintain the model's timeless silhouette while enhancing functionality.

Building the Perfect White Defender 90

A White Defender 90 remains one of the most timeless configurations, offering clean, crisp visuals with unmatched capability. Whether it's a full custom build or a heritage restoration, Shoreline provides tailored interiors, drivetrain choices, and exterior enhancements to ensure your White 90 stands apart—both in style and performance.

At Shoreline Vehicles, we treat every Land Rover build as a legacy project. Whether you're looking for a classic Land Rover, a refurbished Land Rover, or something truly special like a Land Rover 101 FC, we're here to help you create a vehicle that's as capable as it is iconic.
