"LUCARI started because I believed the standard could be higher and I wasn't prepared to wait for someone else to raise it."
There's no shortage of people selling parts and accessories for classic Defenders. There never has been. The market is full of suppliers, some of them very good, offering bits and pieces for a vehicle that has inspired more aftermarket attention than almost any other British car.
So when people ask why LUCARI exists, the honest answer isn't "because there was nothing out there." It's because what was out there wasn't good enough. Not for the standard that classic Defenders deserve, and not for the standard that the people who own them expect.
That gap is still what drives everything we do.
