Reviver Design restores and reimagines classic Land Rover Defenders for modern adventure and safari use. We build two distinct vehicles: the Reviver 110, a V8-powered leisure vehicle designed for overland travel and coastal cruising, and the Reviver ESV, a fully electric Game Viewer crafted for silent, zero-emission luxury safaris. Every build combines timeless design with modern engineering — made to endure Africa’s toughest terrain with style, comfort, and purpose.
