At Heel & Toe, we build Land Rover Defenders the way they were meant to be built — with craftsmanship, care, and character. Whether you’re searching for a ready-to-drive Defender or want a bespoke build tailored to your lifestyle, we create vehicles that turn heads, spark adventure, and stand the test of time.
Born over pints in a Herefordshire pub, Heel & Toe was founded by two friends with a shared passion for motoring.
Ben — known to most as Wingnut — has over 20 years of hands-on experience in the motor industry, having worked his magic on countless Land Rovers. Rog brought a background in business and motorsport, with rallying in his blood but a Defender-shaped gap in his heart — at least until the first build.
Together, they set out with a simple goal:
to create exceptional, classically-built Land Rover Defenders with character.
Combining Ben’s unrivalled Defender knowledge with Rog’s tuned motorsport insight, Heel & Toe offers a refreshing, credible alternative within the crowded Defender market.
While we specialise in fully bespoke builds, we also offer two signature Heel & Toe models.
Both retain the charm and authenticity of the original icon, subtly enhanced with quality upgrades for comfort, usability and style.

Freedom-loving, fun-fuelled, built for weekends, road trips and the good life.
A Defender with sunshine, smiles and adventure in its DNA.

A rugged, dependable workhorse built to graft. Practical, purposeful and engineered for reliability — from farm tracks to building sites.
We listen, understand, and bring your Defender dream to life — whether fully custom or a refined, ready-to-go build.
Designed around your vision
Upgrades handled with restraint & taste
Premium builds without inflated price tags
We typically source 200tdi, 300tdi or TD5 donor vehicles for their robustness and reliability — in 90 or 110 wheelbases, and in any base configuration: station wagon, panel van, soft-top, pickup and more.
We rebuild them with the care, detail and expertise they deserve.
