ECD Auto Design Introduces the County Collection
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — ECD Auto Design (NASDAQ: ECDA), renowned for its bespoke Land Rover Defender restorations, proudly announces its latest venture: the County Collection. This exclusive offering is a beautiful tribute to the diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage across the United Kingdom. Every vehicle within this limited-edition series is named after a prominent UK county or region, with colors that reflect the essence of their historical significance and natural beauty.
A Tribute to British Craftsmanship
Deeply rooted in British automotive culture, ECD Auto Design was established with a commitment to restoring and reimagining iconic Land Rovers. The County Collection perfectly encapsulates this philosophy. It masterfully blends the legacy of classic Defenders with modern luxury and performance. Unlike ECD’s bespoke custom builds that require a longer waiting period, these expertly crafted Defenders are available for immediate ownership, providing a unique opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Bringing Artistry to Life
According to Kevin Kastner, Chief Revenue Officer at ECD Auto Design, “With the County Collection, we wanted to deliver something exceptional that honors our heritage while ensuring collectors can own a distinctive vehicle right away. Each Defender in this collection is designed as a work of art, maintaining the charm of its namesake county while showcasing modern performance and craftsmanship.”
Colors Inspired by Iconic UK Regions
The County Collection features vehicles that draw vivid inspiration from the colors and characters found across various UK counties. The inaugural models include:
- Bedfordshire (Black) – A deep, elegant black that reflects the county’s grand estates and woodlands.
- Cumbria (Green) – A lush, verdant green, evoking the breathtaking hills and valleys of the Lake District.
- Dorset (White) – A striking white reminiscent of the coastal cliffs and scenic vistas.
- Essex (Gold) – A warm golden tone that mirrors the county’s vibrant pastures and historic aura.
With more inspirations in the pipeline, ECD continues to develop new models for the County Collection, extending the invitation for adventure with each new design.
More than Just a Vehicle
Purchasing a Defender from the County Collection is about embracing a comprehensive ECD experience. Each owner receives an extensive suite of benefits:
- A Personalized Client Experience – Each client is introduced to their Defender personally by the dedicated ECD Client Experience Team.
- The ECD Journey Book – An exclusive book depicting the unique design inspirations and craftsmanship behind their vehicle.
- Leading Warranty & Service – Every County Collection Defender includes a premium warranty and post-purchase support, consistent with ECD’s custom builds.
Kastner emphasizes the narrative behind each ECD vehicle, stating, “An ECD Defender isn’t merely transport—it embodies storytelling, craftsmanship, and exclusivity. The County Collection allows enthusiasts to possess a uniquely inspired ECD build, one that they can drive away today while enjoying the same high standards and personalized service that define our brand.”
