Our Shed.

Nestled in the heart of Costa Rica's lush coffee plantations lies our Land Rover restoration company, dedicated to preserving the legacy of these iconic vehicles. Our passion is rooted in the unique history of Land Rovers in Costa Rica, where they served as indispensable workhorses on farms and rural communities throughout the country. With the rare distinction of being one of only two countries to receive factory permission for assembly, alongside Spain, Costa Rica boasts a deep connection to these classic off-roaders.

At our restoration shop, we pride ourselves on honoring this storied past by meticulously restoring each Land Rover to its original glory. Our skilled team of artisans combines traditional craftsmanship with a deep understanding of these vehicles' heritage, ensuring every restoration is an authentic tribute to their hardworking origins. As we breathe new life into these beloved classics, we continue to celebrate the enduring bond between Costa Rica and the Land Rover legacy.
