The level of perfection in a Bespoke Helderburg Restoration can be seen immediately down to the smallest details. Our builds are completely disassembled to bare metal and then built back up piece by piece. Our detailed process of restoration will ensure a Helderburg or Porsche will remain perfect for decades as you pass it onto the next generation. Our Concours D'elegance paint work has a 75 year perfection warranty and due to our body preparation and painting process the paint will always look wet, deep and resist corrosion.
A Helderburg Bespoke Build is a mix of Classic looks with Modern Advancements in Comfort and Performance. When it's a Bespoke Helderburg or Porsche, you will enjoy the positive attention a Classic Land Rover Defender or Classic Porsche receives without the nuisance of slowness, maintenance and uncomfortable ride that often comes with a classic vehicle.
A Helderburg Bespoke Build D110 takes over 3,100 man hours to build. Perfection takes time but we've never had a client say it was not worth the wait. Average timeline to completion is 21 months. Send this picture to friend and ask them to come with you to visit us in Sharon Springs, NY.
Every Bespoke Helderburg (custom built) started life as an Authentic British Left Hand Drive Defender. We don't work with right hand drive or non British Defenders from Spain, Turkey, South Africa or Japan. Only Authentic True British Defenders for The Helderburg Bespoke Program.
Bespoke (custom built) Helderburgs are ground up restorations with the only original parts being the frame, part of the body and engine block.

We have several wheel choices from 16" to 20". A 16" wheel looks a bit more rugged and a 20" wheel improves cornering but tires are more expensive. We will help you decide which wheel size is best for your lifestyle. Send this picture to a friend and ask them if they like these wheels.
We're often asked who can service a Defender? Answer: Most independent European repair shops that service Mercedes Benz, BMW and Volvo also work on Defenders. Also shops that service Ford, Dodge and Chevy diesels will service a Defender. However the Fuel Injected Turbo Diesel 300 TDi is highly reliable and most last much longer than 500,000 miles.
The 300 TDi is very fuel efficient and average in the upper 20s' per gallon. They are probably the most practical vehicle available. Not only is there no tune ups due to the Diesel motor but they are highly desirable and increasing in value by an average of 20% annually. No other vehicle does that.
Driving a Defender is much like driving a Mercedes G Wagon or a Jeep except the Defender feels more stable. Send this image to a friend and tell them you want to visit the Helderburg Farm to see a Defender in person.

The Helderburg Performance Tuned 300 TDi and TD5 is highly reliable, powerful, cost of ownership is lower than anything else and fuel efficiency is in the upper 20s therefore that is all we offer. We don't offer Corvette, Cummins or Electric motors and that is why a Helderburg increases in value and has a higher resale.
What is the maintenance of a Helderburg? Oil and fuel filters change every 3500 miles. This can be done at any local quick lube shop...and do keep it washed so it looks great for others taking pictures for social media.
Interior
Automatic transmissions are available but a manual 5 speed will increase the value and is a lot of fun to drive. The manual transmission has a special clutch that is easy to drive and ideal in city driving.
