THE BEAST

This vehicle has already done everything on your bucket list.

All that is missing is you.

A Kenyan Warhorse

Meet the privilege of driving a vehicle nobody can get. This 2005 Defender 110 has been meticulously maintained through years of African adventure, owned previously by diplomats who understood the value of heritage and craftsmanship.

For years, my son and I have camped, adventured, and experienced the raw beauty of Kenya in this legendary machine. From dawn game drives with zebras grazing nearby to dust trails through acacia forests, every journey has been unforgettable.

Now, this English-made icon is ready for its next chapter—in Texas. A vehicle that has conquered Africa is ready to turn heads in the Lone Star State.

A Texan in Kenya

Born and raised in Texas, I spent my career traveling the world with the U.S. Department of State. For the last six years, I've called Kenya home—and The Beast has been my ride-or-die through every adventure.

In Kenya, you're definitely "in the club" if you drive an old Landy. In your best British accent: Other owners wave at you on the road—a silent knowing, a nod to understanding what's cool, loving the vintage vibe, and respecting the power of this legendary machine.

As a Texan in Kenya, I've rolled through some of the most beautiful landscapes you can imagine. From dawn game drives with zebras grazing nearby to navigating the bush around Nairobi, this vehicle has delivered unforgettable experiences. Now it's time to bring this jewel home to Texas.

The Beast is ready for its next adventure. Are you?
