Our History Dedicated to Defenders...
The oldest Family owned Land Rover company in the World.
Where it all began...
Peter Foley started the business back in 1966, buying and selling Land Rover parts and vehicles, he also had an interest in Military Vehicles. Over the years the business has grown & developed in numerous ways. Carrying out bespoke conversions and rebuilds and of course delving into the ‘Overland Travel’ scene that has become a very important factor in the Land Rover market. Exports of Foley Land Rovers all over the world have also played a major role in the growth of the business. Defender restorations now also play a major role along side servicing and general repairs. The company is still family owned by Peter's sons Paul and Stuart Foley and it continues to provide high quality vehicles, servicing and free advice for Land Rover enthusiasts and owners.
