"Tophat Classics" - Dutch Defenders
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 окт 2017
- Dutch friends Carel van Helsdingen and Alex Zeeman team up to build the world's ultimate custom Land Rover Defenders, many LS3-powered with 500+hp.
If you can dream it, TopHat can build it. Europe is home to many classic Defenders that serve as the perfect canvas for a unique and modern build that honors the looks and design of the original, but is updated with all of today's creature comforts and power.
With Carel's background in business and Alex's expertise in mechanics, TopHat systematically pushes the boundaries of what can be done in a 25 year old defender, from developing custom adapter plates in CAD to a custom suspension in partnership with Koni to handle the power.
TopHat is based in both the Netherlands & United States in Arizona. Order's are built in the Netherlands and then shipped to the US for finishing due to import regulations.
Having completed more than two-dozen builds in the past few years, Carel and Alex continue to improve their designs and continue to tackle the challenges associated with building customers whatever they can dream up.

After watching just four Praemio videos, this has become my favorite RUclips channel. Great content, fantastic stories, and wonderful production.
Another top notch film by Praemio. Very interesting story with sickening aerial shots. Defenders sound stout. Carel & Alex are putting the MUSCLE in 4-wheel drive cars!!
You guys are so under-rated. Love your videos. Thanks for putting everything into them. So much character and style in every video. Cheers!
That yellow Defender is just a dream, gorgeous car! I would love to add one to my 996, but time is needed...
The Singer of land rovers haha great video!
So beautiful! Awesome!
Glad this channel is still going strong! Can't wait to see what's next
Simply beautiful....
Such a big fan of your work! I love this channel! Keep on going !

Gaaf jongens! Mooie auto's bouwen jullie. En leuk dat er ook even een Golf op A8 winterfelgen voorbij komt in het filmpje!
This channel is really fascinating
+Nguyễn Đức Thông thanks!
you cant pick one, they are all beautiful, lucky you ;)
this is a dream car
Very cool
Yesss Tophat !
It's like an American Twisted Company
If Land Rover originally did this to their Defenders very few people would have been able to afford them.
Beautiful vehicle. Those frames are notorious for rust though
Dream car
Damn... meets the clickbait expectation, if i was all in at a poker game I'd be one hell of a...
i love costume made landrover but the only thing i wonder how you have managed to deal with dust as the door design are not good like those of landcruiser a lot of dust came in
anybody who knows the piece of music playing in the beginning of the video? it's awesome :-)
Rad!
What does the dude say at 3:28? It sounds like he says "I set up another company that made mince against garlic smell". WHAT?
lo deseo y lo quiero es lo mas grande en ingeniería
Does anyone know what bumper guard that is around the 2 center lights or what it's called? I'm looking for one on my defender build. Any help is appreciated.
you are legends, I still don't get why the defender is not allowed in north america ...
You guys should consider putting captions on all your videos, would really help out :)
I love Defenders. Another company that I love is 'Twisted Performance'. They sound like the UK equivalent to you. They inspired me to do a similar thing but starting with the Japanese Defender otherwise know as the Fourtrak. In the UK they say that when the Defender brakes down the Fourtrak will pull them out. This is my project. I hope to finish it this year: ruclips.net/video/kcNXjeXC9ME/видео.html
But is it still capable like a Defender should be.....
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ....
OK then. The bog question no one wants to ask: what kind of money are we talking about for one of these bad boys? Don't give me that 'if you have to ask then you can't afford it'. I can't afford it but then 99% of the people watching can't afford it either... but we still wanna know.
