Join us as we explore the fascinating story behind Manz Motor Company, a family-owned business specializing in restoring and customizing Land Rover Defenders. Meet the dedicated father and son team behind the operation, as they take us through their process and share their passion for these iconic vehicles in this episode of West Of Tulsa Show.
Our guests this week on the West of Tulsa Show are a father and son team who strip down and customize Land Rover Defenders. David and Cole Manz are building 6 by 6 Defenders powered by an LS3 motor with 3 axles. They traveled all the way from New Hampshire to join us in studio and we really appreciate it. They battled snow, pneumonia, flakey truck drivers, canceled car shows and much more to be with us.
The Manz Motor Company is essentially doing for Land Rover Defenders what Singer is doing for Porsches. They strip the vehicle down and build it back up to exactly the specs and tastes their customers want in a Defender.
David talks about retiring from his corporate job to team up with his son to follow a passion. They talk about the barn where they do most of the work on these beautiful vehicles. They considered Unimogs and Land Cruisers before making a trip to England to meet up with two brothers who convinced them that their dream should be reality. During their trip to the UK they built their supply chain of OEM parts and got right to work once they returned home.
The Manz talk about who their customers are and what they want in a custom Defender. They offer many options including Cummins Diesel motors and they are even considering offering an electric powered Defender, although that’s not on the menu yet.
You will love their story and hopefully they inspire you to follow your dream. As always, the entire West of Tulsa Team appreciates your support. Please follow, like and subscribe and don’t forget to tell us your story on our Tipline page at www.westoftulsa.com
