ECD Automotive Design's Seasonal Pop-Up in Nantucket
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — ECD Automotive Design, recognized globally for its expertise in Land Rover and Jaguar restoration, is debuting a seasonal pop-up at 10 Easy Street, just in time for the island's lively celebrations. This unique initiative initiates a series of events extending throughout the year, culminating in December.
Notable at this seasonal event are two extraordinary ECD vehicles—each embodying the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and innovative performance. First up is Project Essex, an eye-catching Bahama Gold Defender 110 soft top from ECD's newly launched County Collection, an homage to England's traditional counties. Its breathtaking hue and modern design make it a standout, providing an exceptional driving experience powered by a 6.2L GM LT1 V8 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. The interior boasts sumptuous leather seating with a seamless blend of ruggedness and sophistication that fits perfectly with Nantucket's coastal charm.
The second vehicle, Project Race, pays tribute to vintage aesthetics with its classic, white Land Rover Series III 109. This vehicle is driven by a 6.2L GM LS3 V8 engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging and nostalgic driving experience. Project Race will make its grand appearance at the Antique Car Parade during the town's festival weekend.
These extraordinary vehicles are open for public viewing, with opportunities for test drives. As the season unfolds, ECD plans to rotate vehicles on display, ensuring visitors can experience a wide range of unique masterpieces.
The purpose of this pop-up space at 10 Easy Street transcends a traditional showroom setup. It serves as a vibrant hub where potential customers can immerse themselves in ECD’s opulent design processes and enjoy meaningful interactions with the brand. A knowledgeable brand ambassador will facilitate private consultations, assist with test drive scheduling, and guide customers through their customized vehicle creation journey.
Kevin Kastner, Chief Revenue Officer at ECD, shares, “We’re not just bringing vehicles to the island—we’re creating moments. This is about connecting with people who love design, adventure, and storytelling. Our pop-up is an open invitation to experience the dreams of automotive customization and see those dreams come to life.”
Throughout the year, ECD will collaborate with local brands on unforgettable lifestyle experiences and will introduce a Nantucket Special Edition vehicle reflective of the island's unique spirit. This bespoke vehicle will be a stunning blend of ECD's luxury automotive design and the local inspiration gathered from Nantucket.
While specific details about the special edition remain undisclosed, ECD is encouraging Nantucket-based brands with creative designs to collaborate on this special initiative.
All ECD vehicles are meticulously designed and crafted in the U.S.A. at the company’s expansive facility in Kissimmee, Florida. Each bespoke vehicle represents over 2,200 hours of skillful craftsmanship, merging classic Land Rover aesthetics with enhanced performance, luxury, and personalization.
Nantucket residents, tourists, and automotive enthusiasts are invited to stay connected throughout the season for exciting updates regarding vehicle showcases, test drives, events, and exclusive releases.
