A Candy Store for Car Enthusiasts: Warren and Fran’s Reaction to Driving a Defender
Step into the world of automotive passion with Warren and Fran as they experience the extraordinary craftsmanship of Helderburg Defenders. Longtime admirers of Paul’s work on Instagram, the couple was lured by the promise of unmatched quality and classic design. Their in-person visit instantly left them speechless—and, as they put it, feeling like kids in a candy store.
Having seen a variety of Land Rover models at shops on Long Island, from Range Rovers to Discoveries and Defenders, Warren and Fran immediately noticed a stark contrast: the level of detail and finish on Helderburg Defenders is truly night and day compared to anything they’d seen before. The military and farm-inspired styling resonated deeply with Warren, who appreciated the authentic ruggedness—a genuine four-wheel drive meant for adventures on the beach, in the snow, or wherever the road leads.
While owning Jeeps and even driving a Hummer H2 for 14 years, nothing prepared them for the pure, timeless appeal of Helderburg’s creations. Whether it was the compact, beautiful D90 in silver or another eye-catching build, every Defender left a lasting impression. Warren and Fran see these vehicles not just as cars, but as treasures to keep for life, perhaps even to hand down through generations—true classics redefined by Helderburg’s signature style and durability.
For those seeking more than just a vehicle, but a lasting legacy on wheels, this video captures the magic of seeing and driving a Helderburg Defender for the first time.
