Our 2015 Land Rover Defender 110 has been stripped down by classic car technician, Mauro. Once it had been stripped, Mauro rubbed down the roof ready for it to be painted.
It wasn’t just the roof that had the attention of our paintshop though, as the wheel arches, front grill, and front headlight surrounds were also prepared to be painted black.
Once all the prep work was complete, the roof and the other prepped components were painted.
As you can see from the photos below, our Defender is looking great now that some of its paintwork has been completed. With more paintwork coming very soon, we are looking forward to seeing it continue looking better and better, the longer it spends in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
We have very recently welcomed our 2015 Land Rover Defender 110 to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
This isn’t any old Defender though as it comes with quite a bit of history, despite it only being 8 years old. Belonging to explorer and adventurer Ed Stafford, this imposing vehicle was stolen and stripped of a lot of its components.
Since the Land Rover was returned to Ed, he has been hard at work rebuilding it and getting it back on the road. Following Ed’s recent visit to us, we will now do some restoration work on the Defender to help him get the vehicle looking as good as it should.
If you want to hear more about the story of Ed Stafford’s Land Rover as well as his epic expeditions including walking the length of the Amazon river, surviving on an uninhabited island, and living on the streets of the UK, you can meet Ed and hear his stories first hand on March 25th 2023 when we host Stories at The Atelier with Ed Stafford. Tickets are now available!
Ed Stafford is an adventurer, explorer, and well-known TV personality. Ed is the first man to walk the length of the Amazon River from source to sea, with his epic expedition concluding on 9th August 2010. It took Ed 860 days of trekking to complete the journey cementing his rightful place in the record books.
After the Discovery Channel made a documentary of Ed’s Amazon adventure, he also wrote a book telling the story of his experience.
Since then, Ed Stafford has survived completely alone on an uninhabited island, lived on the streets of the UK, and competed against some of the world’s best survival experts in his catalogue of TV shows and documentaries.
Recently, Ed has been featured in the news for a more personal reason – his 2015 Land Rover Defender 110 was stolen and stripped of many of its components. Ed has been working hard to rebuild his Land Rover and we are helping him out with this too!
Take a look at some of our highlight gallery below:
