US clients
Since the United States are strict for importing new cars, we have a joint venture with URBAN USA. This way you can order your convertible or pickup via them.

We can source Defender for you or you can bring your own if you like. We prefer sourcing it ourselves because we then can take complete control of the proces and mandatory steps for making registration possible.

How can I buy one?

After sending your details we will make an indicative quote and by accepting and transferring the deposit you will get an appointment with our team to get an idea of the personal wishes and wanna haves.
You will receive various concepts and ideas based on the conversations. The quote will be amended and finalized.
When the project starts we will invoice you 50% of the total cost and when completed the other 50%
In the meantime you will receive photos and videos of our team and you are always welcome to visit.
When the car is completed we will take it for a testdrive and will make a document for you with all the stages.

It is always subjective, but roughly we can state that the price range lies around:

- 45k euro until 75k euro for the pickup
- 45k euro until 70k for the Baja

What is mandatory?
Since the Valiance pickup is a creation of Heritage Customs we always supply the Defenders with a selection of our wheels, painted parts and our interior and exterior decal packs.
