Teaching an old dog new tricks with the Heritage Customs Vintage Landy

Building each Heritage Customs Vintage is an immersive journey, creating a highly personal vintage Land Rover, from the sketch pad to the finished car.

Classic Land Rovers continue to get attention from custom builders all around the world. The Heritage Customs Vintage grabbed our attention as it has been styled by Classic Driver regular, Niels van Roij, famous for his bespoke creations.

Prices for the Heritage Customs Vintage start from €40,000 and are 100% tailor-made, starting with sketches created from discussions with the client. This is the first car to be created and Niels explained the car to us.

"This likeable Dutch Vintage commission features a rich, soft green metallic paint. It feels right at home next to the Heather flowers in the forest as well as on the pebble stones next to the patron’s striking monumental villa. For this Heritage Customs Vintage we selected our bespoke milled aluminium side- and bonnet vents whilst non-automotive tan Nubuck leather was applied to trim the seats, dashboard as well as rear benches.”

“We also designed a teak wooden cargo floor with white rubber inlays, integrated a Marshall speaker into the cubby box and hand stitched a tan canvas hood complementing the leather interior. A wooden steering wheel replaces the plastic standard unit, whilst the centre stack has been tastefully colour-coded to the body and has metal switchgear applied to its facia.”

The end result is a clear success and proves that it is still possible to take a fresh and interesting approach to customizing the iconic Land Rover. To discuss your own vision for a Heritage Customs Vintage get in touch with the team and create the ultimate off-road expression of you!
