Design your dream Defender.

Born out of a passion for off-road vehicles and a love for building them, father and son David and Cole Manz now craft what for years was only enjoyed by their family. Manz Motor Company now rebuilds a very limited number of its meticulously designed and handcrafted Land Rover Defenders with you.

Every inch of your Defender, uniquely you

Before any part is ordered or bolt tightened, you are guided through our hands-on customization experience. Let our years of experience assist you in navigating numerous options, and find the materials, colors and features that best enhance your lifestyle. Why purchase a Defender intended for the masses when you can have one that is designed around you?

Body Style

Manz offers three models to fit your lifestyle, the Defender 90, 110, and 130. Each model can be configured with 2 or 4 doors (90, 2 doors only), as a station wagon or pickup, and with the station wagon available with a hard or soft top. Each one of these styles changes the utility, but not the versatility and capability.

Powertrain

At Manz, your engine selection is far more than a decision about fuel choice and drivability, it’s about your safety. Each engine is matched with the proper steering, brake, driveline and suspension parts. You wouldn’t expect brakes designed for a Defender with 120 horsepower to stop one with 480 horsepower, and nor do we.

Together with the use of seating styles and arrangements, dashboard design, and a variety of electronics options, you are assured of a space that reflects your lifestyle.
