The FORMULA Defender

When Gaz (@gaz_crosby_formula) came to us, he had a clear vision in mind—to build a tough, utilitarian Land Rover Defender that would perfectly reflect the image of his new business venture launching soon in Durham.

We sat down, discussed all the design ideas, and together brought this absolute beast of a build to life. One of the standout touches is the subtle yet meaningful “FORMULA” branding on both the bonnet and rear wheel cover—tying the Defender directly to Gaz’s new brand identity.

From start to finish, every element was chosen to deliver both style and functionality, while keeping that unmistakable Defender presence.

Good luck with the new business, Gaz! We hope you love and enjoy every minute behind the wheel of your fully bespoke, custom-built Defender.
