Twisted Automotive specialises in re-engineering new and used Land Rover Defenders. Based in Thirsk, its 23-strong team both restores and builds vehicles, most notably enhancing performance, handling and comfort.
Developed from the original Land Rover Series launched in 1948, the Defender was introduced to the market in 1983. It is known for having the longest running production of any Land Rover vehicle, before ceasing production in January 2016.
Founded in 2000, Twisted initially ran as a side operation offering tuning and performance enhancements on a range of Land Rover models. To tackle the high demand, the company recently launched its Classic series, which comprises donor vehicles that are built to a certain level of specification and are ready to purchase. From the original 20 produced, 19 have already sold, leading on to creation of Series II.
