A Heritage Reimagined for the Modern Collector
For those who appreciate the beauty of timeless design blended with modern performance, the upcoming 2026 editions of the County Collection are a masterclass in craftsmanship. Delivery begins as early as January 2026, offering discerning collectors a chance to reserve a truly exclusive one-of-one build. Each vehicle in this remarkable collection redefines the essence of bespoke automotive artistry, blending British heritage with bold color palettes and contemporary engineering.
The County Collection has long stood as a symbol of individuality and refinement. For 2026, it continues this legacy with two distinctive interpretations of the Land Rover Defender—the Warwickshire Defender and the Mayfair Defender. Each one is a handcrafted statement piece, meticulously engineered to capture both the heart and the imagination of those who demand excellence from every drive.
The Warwickshire Defender Celebrates British Strength and Style
The Warwickshire Defender is a modern interpretation of rugged sophistication. Finished in an elegant Nardo Gray exterior complemented by a sleek black leather interior, this model embodies understated power and contemporary grace. Its robust 6.2L GM LT1 V8 engine, paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, delivers the kind of effortless performance that transforms every journey into a refined adventure.
Drivers will appreciate its commanding presence and balanced driving dynamics, whether navigating winding country roads or cruising along coastal highways. The Warwickshire Defender offers more than just strength—it is an expression of individuality, crafted for those who value both precision engineering and bespoke style.
Beyond its power and performance, the Warwickshire design philosophy pays homage to classic British motoring with modern sensibilities. It’s the perfect companion for weekend getaways, countryside escapes, or simply elevating everyday drives into memorable experiences.
The Mayfair Defender Defines the Pinnacle of Bespoke Luxury
If the Warwickshire Defender embodies British strength, the Mayfair Defender represents its soul. Inspired by the elegance of London’s prestigious Mayfair district, this custom Defender pushes the boundaries of luxury craftsmanship. Finished in a deep ECD Custom Black, the vehicle’s commanding exterior reflects an aesthetic of quiet confidence and sophistication. Inside, a refined 2+2+4 seating configuration ensures exceptional comfort and spatial harmony, blending practicality with elegance.
The Mayfair Defender features a six-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth, responsive performance that complements its elevated design. Every element of this vehicle speaks to exclusivity—from the refined textures of its interior to the subtle design cues inspired by Britain’s most iconic institutions, including Harrods, Wimbledon, and Savile Row.
This is more than a vehicle—it is an heirloom of modern luxury. Every stitch, surface, and detail tells a story of craftsmanship and individuality. The Mayfair Defender stands as ECD’s most premium model to date, surpassing even the celebrated Signature range with a level of refinement that redefines what a Defender can be.
Craftsmanship That Blends Tradition and Innovation
Each Defender within the County Collection is a true one-of-one creation, meaning no two are ever alike. Every build begins with a meticulous design process, where clients collaborate directly with expert craftsmen to select finishes, materials, and features that reflect their personal vision.
From handcrafted interiors to precisely engineered performance systems, every detail is thoughtfully executed. The integration of advanced drivetrains like the GM LT1 V8 and modern automatic transmissions ensures that these vehicles perform as beautifully as they look. This marriage of form and function captures the spirit of modern British engineering—respectful of tradition, yet always looking forward.
ECD’s commitment to bespoke excellence is evident in every curve, stitch, and finish. Their process allows each vehicle to become an extension of its owner’s personality, offering a driving experience that is both luxurious and emotionally engaging.
The Art of Collectible Motoring
The County Collection 2026 is designed not only for those who love to drive but also for those who understand the artistry behind a true collector’s piece. Each vehicle embodies the values of craftsmanship, heritage, and exclusivity that define high-end automotive culture.
Owning a Defender from the 2026 County Collection is an experience that extends far beyond the road. It is a statement of taste, a symbol of individuality, and a celebration of British design at its finest. For enthusiasts who appreciate bespoke builds that stand apart from the ordinary, this collection delivers something truly extraordinary.
