revisiting a simpler aesthetic, more like the original projects, with an emphasis more than ever on materials and end user enjoyment.

outlander is the result of 10 years of obsessive evolution, product development and a desire to create an authentic and tasteful Defender, that prioritised quality of materials and congruency of design. outlander does not seek to be an answer, but rather a question.

Portfolio 1 shows some of the details from early outlander build projects. The emphasis with these projects was on trying to get away from the prevalent style of the time, which was black/ grey bodywork with bucket seats and big alloys. The objective was to explore a more authentic feeling methodology that reflected the original character of the Defender. The quality of durability of the constituent materials was also of key importance.
outlander classic
the purest iteration of the iconic Range Rover Classic.
“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both. ”
―James A. Michener
