Built for Adventure | Designed for Elegance | Driven by Excellence
WELCOME TO NORTH44 ROVERS
A RELENTLESS DEDICATION TO CRAFT
We build more than vehicles—we craft legacy-driven masterpieces. At North44 Rovers, we reimagine the iconic Land Rover Defender with an obsessive commitment to detail, heritage, and performance. Every build is a reflection of your vision, made with timeless design and modern innovation.
ABOUT
HERITAGE REBORN
For over seven decades, the Land Rover Defender has embodied resilience, strength, and adventure. At North44 Rovers, we breathe new life into this legend, crafting bespoke restorations that honor its past while embracing the future. Each vehicle is built for those who seek something exceptional—a machine that is not just driven, but experienced.
Who We Are
Founded on a love for exploration and craftsmanship, our story began in the heart of the Amazon and continues today from our ateliers in Toronto, London, and Miami. We are artisans, engineers, and adventurers. Our Defenders are not just restored—they’re reborn.
What We Do
We specialize in bespoke, frame-off restorations of the legendary Land Rover Defender. From curated donor selection to handcrafted interiors and performance tuning, every detail is designed with purpose. Each vehicle is a unique collaboration between your vision and our expertise.
EVERYTHING HAS PURPOSE
True excellence demands an obsessive attention to detail. Every curve, every stitch, every component is deliberately chosen, ensuring that each Defender we create is not just restored, but reimagined. Our philosophy is built on one guiding principle: Everything must serve a purpose—without compromise.
