HIMALAYA

HIMALAYA HIMALAYA specializes in building fully custom Land Rover Defenders and Series 88 / 109s from the ground up. HIMALAYA is a bespoke transportation design company.

Staying close to the classic aesthetic while incorporating modern components for both drivability and serviceability. Re-engineering the vehicles and equipment that take you places. At the core of HIMALAYA there is a fundamental truth of exploration and adventure rooted deep within our DNA. We live and breathe the elements of great adventures, drawn to the experiences had during the journey rather

than the final destination. Our goal, to capture the unique heritage of the vintage Land Rovers, the storied and proven tradition and the innate yearning for adventure that it encourages and is built into every vehicle. While being ultimately respectful of the history, we seamlessly integrate the modern touches that enhance drivability, reliability and performance. Absolutely nothing is overlooked and nothing is compromised in a vehicle that retains its classic styling but, can go anywhere, reliably and in comfort. At HIMALAYA we make the ultimate Land Rover Defender and Series vehicles for the modern era. We create DRIVABLE AUTOMOTIVE ARTWORK for the most discerning and appreciative guardians of this iconic vehicle.

This is how a HIMALAYA is meant to be used.

We donโ€™t build show cars.
We build Land Rovers for real, everyday life.

The story of every HIMALAYA starts long before it enters our workshop.

Last week, two original Land Rover Series IIA donor vehicles arrived in Charleston, each carrying decades of history with them.

Finding these vehicles is one of our favorite parts of the process. Hidden away in barns, garages, and fields across the country, every Land Rover has a story worth preserving.

The first is a beautifully preserved 1968 Series IIA that has remained in a single family since new. The original green patina is simply too good to cover up, so rather than repainting it, weโ€™ll preserve every ounce of its character while giving it a new life for the road ahead.
