Behind the Badge: How SVD Group is Shaping the Future of Classic Motoring
Every brand within the Shoreline Vehicle Design (SVD) Group shares the exact same foundation: uncompromising craftsmanship, purposeful design, and a deep respect for automotive heritage.
Whether it is a backdated Porsche 911 or a reimagined Land Rover Defender, every vehicle we build carries the same commitment. Heritage without compromise, engineering without limits. Each build is a careful balance of respecting what made these icons great and pushing them forward for today.
As the master brand behind Shoreline 911 and Shoreline Vehicles, SVD Group exists to prove that you don't have to choose between a classic soul and modern reliability. Here is how our two core pillars are redefining the modern classic.
Shoreline 911: The Ultimate Air-Cooled Evolution
For those who crave the golden era of air-cooled performance, our Shoreline 911 division builds hand-built 911 Backdate masterpieces.
Our philosophy is simple: Classic Porsche lines, reimagined with modern performance. We build custom Porsche 911s that look like they rolled out of the 1970s but drive like a stripped-back, reliable, modernized classic.
Every build starts with a hand-picked donor car. From there, it is rebuilt from the ground up with a custom interior, an upgraded engine, and tuned suspension. Crafted with precision, passion, and a deep respect for the original, our vehicles are built in limited numbers across four distinct styles: the 911 GTR Modern, 911 GTR Classic, 911 GTR Evo, and 911 GTR Targa.
No two are alike. They are built exactly the way you want them.
Shoreline Vehicles: Classic Soul. Modern Engineering.
Shoreline started with a genuine love of classic Land Rovers. What began as a handful of projects has grown into something more deliberate: Custom Land Rover Defenders, done properly, from the ground up.
Iconic Defender heritage, rebuilt for the modern world. Building out of our workshops in the UK and Miami, we create Defender 90s and Defender 110s finished across four distinct editions, each built around a different way of using the car:
Beach: Stripped back, built beautifully.
Heritage: The classic Defender, quietly elevated.
Modern: Classic soul. Modern presence.
Villain: Lifted, blacked out, built to dominate.
Every vehicle is carefully sourced, stripped to the bare chassis, and rebuilt to a standard engineered to last. They are classic in character, reliable in the real world, and strictly built to be driven and enjoyed.
The SVD Group Journey: You Choose. We Build.
What truly places SVD Group at the pinnacle of the custom restoration industry is our process. Whether you are commissioning a 911 Backdate or a custom Defender, our builds are designed around how you actually plan to use the car.
You get access to an online tracker with weekly photos and stage-by-stage updates, so you can see exactly where your vehicle is at any point. Nine stages. One standard.
Every Shoreline build starts with a conversation. Tell us how you want to use the car, how you want it to look, and what you want out of it. No pressure. Just a conversation about what you actually want from a custom build.
