Who we are

Artifact Automotive was born out of a genuine passion for Land Rovers, a hands-on attitude, and a commitment to doing things differently.

It all started in a hay barn on my family farm, where I spent more time working on Land Rovers than studying for my Business A Levels. After finishing school in 2023, I decided to turn that passion into a profession and founded Artifact Automotive.

In February 2024, we completed our first fully bespoke Land Rover build, and things quickly gathered momentum from there. We were proud to be featured in Land Rover Monthly in April 2025, a milestone that significantly boosted demand and led to our move into a dedicated, purpose-built workshop - a far cry from the crumbling hay barn where it all began.

To date, we’ve completed close to 10 full bespoke builds and have a strong forward order book for the coming year. Our team is small but highly focused, delivering exceptional results with a quick turnaround and outstanding attention to detail.
