About us
Icons, built for today
Shoreline Vehicle Design is a collective of builders, designers, and engineers united by a passion for iconic cars and meaningful craftsmanship.
We specialize in restoring and reimagining classic Land Rover Defenders, Porsche 911s, and fully electric vintage vehicles, blending timeless design with modern performance, comfort, and reliability.
Our journey began with a love for old Land Rovers and a belief that classic vehicles deserve a second life on today's roads. What started as home-built passion projects has evolved into a group known for bespoke builds that are both beautifully detailed and mechanically advanced.
Every vehicle is built through close collaboration with the client, where we combine their vision with our technical know-how to create something truly personal. From drivetrain upgrades to handcrafted interiors, we obsess over every element because we believe the cars we build should feel as good to drive as they are to look at.
Whether it's a backdated 911, a redefined Defender, or a fully electric classic made for a sustainable future, our builds carry forward the soul of vintage motoring with the precision of modern engineering.
Built to drive. Built to last. Built for you.
