“A Work of Art with an Engine”

★★★★★

written by SCOrloff on 27/04/2017

We just spent two days at the Arkonik headquarters, body shop and garage and found the team to be top notch - very professional, knowledgeable and ultra accommodating. Due to some travel challenges on our part and a rather late arrival, two guys we dealt with were willing to stay well past closing to walk us through the design-build process and begin our selections. Throughout our time together every question was thoroughly addressed and a tremendous amount of patience was displayed as we vacillated on varying selections. The man we dealt with in QC meticulously inspects each Defender from top to bottom and bumper to bumper. He is equally gifted test driving from the left or right hand side to make sure the engine is properly tuned and ready for the customer in whatever part of the World the Defender will be delivered. The experience was fun, enjoyable and quite a learning process. I truly believe the Arkonik team does build every Defender for themselves first and allows us to adopt their masterpiece. The entire team takes great pride in turning out a classic. We anxiously await delivery of our Arkonik Defender 110.

“Best Defender builders!”

★★★★★

written by tristan.manning on 20/03/2017

I've owned a few different models of Land Rovers throughout the years but it wasn't until my most recent deployment to Afghanistan that I got test the Defender's capabilities. I made a decision then and there that I would get my very own Defender. The Defender is truly the worlds most recognized utilitarian vehicle. After spending months researching, I decided to purchase my dream rig from Arkonik. The Arkonik team is the gold standard in rebuilding and customizing Defenders. It was a truly magnificent feeling when my 110 was delivered! With many trips to the coast and the mountains coming soon, we are excited to live to Defender lifestyle and create more family adventures and memories. The vehicle handover process was smooth and informative as well. I am using my 110 as a daily driver and will be soon outfitting with some accoutrements to do more overlanding. This is a vehicle we will never tire of and will be passed down to my kids...but not anytime soon!

“I love my Arkonik Defender!”

★★★★★

written by PBBrownDefender on 11/01/2016

"I've always had a fascination with the Defender. The design process was great. Funny, he sent me a sample of leather used for the interior during design. I carried in my pock for 6 month until the vehicle was in my possession. She doesn't need fancy advertisements or celebrity endorsements. She is beautiful, elegant, rugged and virtually untouched in her design during 67 years of production. She is an adventurer, explorer and with undaunted courage she defends the Crown in times of war. She is fit for a Queen yet driven by farmers. What more can be said and what more could be desired than to own a Defender. I own a variety of vehicles from sports cars to off-road race trucks. Driving is my passion. There are of course a variety of vehicles fit for a variety of occasions. My track car of choice is a 911 GTS. For the off road course of Baja Mexico, a 900 hp Patton Race Engine and 36” of King Suspension is cherry. But for a night on the town with the wife, or a father to son chat the atmosphere in the defender is unforgettable.

“Great visit!”

★★★★★

written by Landyfans on 11/11/2015

My wife and I stopped in at the Arkonik shop yesterday afternoon on our way to Bath. He welcomed us, introduced us to his team and gave us a tour. Saw a lot of great trucks in various stages of assembly as well as finished trucks and those soon to be rebuilt. They run a very clean shop. I can honestly say it is the only time I have seen a 19J engine you could call a work of art. Very interesting to see the custom details of the individual vehicles. My wife showed the crew some of our pictures of the Series III and they were just as keen to learn about my trucks as I was in learning about theirs. We had a great experience at Arkonik.

“Beautiful Workmanship”

★★★★★

written by RunningOver on 07/11/2015

The experience during the build of my Land Rover Defender 110 was a fun adventure but the end product is what really matters. When I got her home, I was amazed that she looked even better than the pictures that were taken during the final photo shoot at a large estate in England. The one word that is consistently said about her when people see her for the first time is, "Beautiful". She runs and sounds great. The Arkonik staff is knowledgeable and helpful during all phases of the build, delivery and ownership process.

How is your truck holding up after a couple of years? Has it proven reliable and has the workmanship endured?

“A heaven of trust, knowledge and reliability for LR...”

★★★★★

written by pantg on 07/11/2015

Having read all the comments and impressions from the side of people who have purchased Defenders reborn by the hands of LAND ROVERS UK Ltd/ARKONIK I would like to add my comments not only as a client but also as a supplier of this company. Our cooperation started about a year ago when the person I dealt with bought two of my personal Defenders so as to turn them into custom builts for his USA based clients. This first contact resulted into meeting one of the most trustworthy persons I have met in my life. During this period both the person I dealt with and all the people at Arkonik have proven to the undersigned that they are people who have deep knowledge about the Land Rover Defenders and are passionate about them. They know and love their business and succeed into turning a Land Rover Defender into a civilized, extremely beautiful and reliable vehicle. And while they do so they remain professional, attentive to the needs of their clients, supportive and precise with their suppliers and most importantly of all retaining business and human ethics that are very rare in our times and especially in the car trade. In my capacity as the founder of the Land Rover Club of Greece I had the opportunity to see a lot of rebuilt, remanufactured and "tuned" or "customized" Defenders. What I saw and experienced with the way ARKONIK gets its vehicles reborn was a revelation and a joy for my eyes and soul. Their moto of "Born in Solihull, reborn in Somerset" is absolutely true and I can attest to the fact that the Defenders they create are not plainly reborn but reborn more beautiful, tailor made to the needs of their new owners and with a level of quality of built and attention to detail that I have NEVER before seen in my life not only on a Land Rover in general or Defender in particular but even on high end prestigious and luxury vehicles. Photos and descriptions fall short of the actual quality and workmanship provided by ARKONIK and the people who manufacture those vehicles. And plain words and comments cannot carry and express the kind of support, knowledge and level of attention to service that the managerial and assisting stuff of ARKONIK provide to the people who chose to cooperate with that firm not only as its clients but also as its suppliers. And all those is a way that is not only polite but more importantly friendly, trustworthy and heartwarming. Chosing ARKONIK to build your Defender will not only provide you with the BEST DEFENDER MONEY CAN BUY but also with new and reliable friends who have not only provided you with a car but will continue to support you and your Defender. Having had the opportunity to experience both sides of receiving and providing services and goods to and from ARKONIK I am 100% satisfied with them and hopefully will continue to cooperate with them for the coming years both for my Land Rovers and for those that they may need from me.

“Great service. Great product. Great people. ”

★★★★★

written by EColeEye on 07/11/2015

Well I am on my 3rd defender with ARKONIK and they just seem to get better and better. People can't believe it's not new! The craftsmanship in beyond reproach and dealing with the entire team is actually a pleasure. The Defender is a unique vehicle for a unique owner. Someone that shuns the mass produced and enjoys the exclusivity only a company like ARKONIK can provide to their clients. Build it. Drive it. Love it. Just be prepared to constantly talk about it because everyone will be asking you questions. Everyone!......and yes I plan on doing another one! It's addicting!! Thanks to everyone at ARKONIK for making every build more fun than the last.

“Great Defenders! Incredible team! ”

★★★★★

written by Youngzk489 on 20/04/2015

Arkonik (Land Rovers UK) rebuild and restore the best Land Rover Defenders available for the USA market! The Arkonik team have been really friendly and hospitable from the very beginning and helped me with every aspect of my build. I spent over two years searching online for the right company that could import a Land Rover Defender 110 into the USA. After analysing Arkonik's website and seeing the large amount of trucks that had been successfully registered and imported into America and getting into contact with several Pioneers, it was obvious that this company was the best in the business. The quality of their product is evident. Not only do Arkonik Defenders look great on the outside, they look fantastic on the inside! To think that these trucks are 25+ years old is quite literally insane. The effort and care that has gone into each detail of the restoration is awe-inspiring and I cannot wait for my build to commence at their production facility. I could not recommend Arkonik enough. They are a dedicated team who are 100% committed to the restoration and customisation of a British icon - the Land Rover Defender!
