Turismo Auto Group is proud to offer this fully custom 2002 Land Rover Defender 90, known as “Project Carlos” — the result of a no-expense-spared, frame-off restoration and reimagination by GB Defenders, a boutique Canadian builder renowned for their handcrafted, design-forward Defender builds. Completed in September 2025 following a year-long build process, Project Carlos is a rolling piece of automotive craftsmanship that blends British heritage with refined aesthetics, modern drivability, and unmatched attention to detail.
Project Carlos is finished in a striking White over Pastel Green two-tone exterior and features a rich Zimtbraun leather interior with Pepita houndstooth inserts and Honey Beige suede accents — a retro-modern palette with timeless appeal.
