Lunaz doubles its Silverstone workforce and adds a second shift as US collectors snap up Range Rover Classic and Aston Martin commissions.

• Lunaz has filled every US production slot for its Range Rover Classic and Aston Martin commissions.
• Lunaz plans roughly 40 new jobs at Silverstone over the next two years.
• The hiring push is an investment in British craft skills.

Lunaz says production allocations for American clients have been filled across its Range Rover Classic and Aston Martin series, and the British restomod house is not slowing down to catch its breath. It is adding a second shift at Silverstone instead.

The company plans roughly 40 new jobs over the next two years, spanning design, coachbuilding, engine development and electrification. Founder and CEO David Lorenz says the US response “shows the strength” of these cars’ “place in automotive culture.”

US Collector Demand Fuels Lunaz’s Silverstone Expansion

Lunaz entered the US market earlier in 2026, and the country quickly became its biggest international growth engine. That pace has now outrun the capacity of its 65,000 square foot facility near the Silverstone circuit.

Rather than stretch lead times, Lunaz is doubling its Silverstone workforce over the next 24 months. The extra shift covers restoration, body engineering, powertrain integration, trim and final assembly, all kept in-house at the Northamptonshire site.

The current Range Rover Classic run tops out at 25 vehicles, a cap set by factory capacity rather than by soft demand. Lunaz plans those 25 examples as 2027 builds, and American buyers already hold a chunk of them.

Lunaz frames the hiring push as an investment in British craft skills, not just headcount. Silverstone’s dense cluster of motorsport and specialist manufacturing talent gives the company a local pipeline for both veteran engineers and newcomers entering the trade.

Restomods Built Around the Original Car’s Character

Every commission starts with a donor Range Rover Classic stripped to bare metal, then rebuilt around either Lunaz’s own electric powertrain or a modern LS3 V8. Both options top 350 horsepower, a notable jump over the SUV’s original 3.5-liter unit.

Buyers pick two-door, four-door, long-wheelbase or convertible body styles, then choose colors, leathers and trim with a dedicated Lunaz designer. Two recent builds show how far that customization runs. One is a vivid green “Kermit” car with a Pop Art-inspired cabin, and the other is a deep green “Nevada” commission with ivory leather and woven heritage textiles.

The same philosophy extends to Lunaz’s Aston Martin work. Its DB series, marking the DB model’s 60th anniversary, runs a hand-built 5.0-liter V8 rated at 350 horsepower, the company’s first combustion project pulling on Formula One-derived engineering.Steering, suspension and brakes are re-engineered across every commission, gas or electric, before the interior gets a fully bespoke finish. Lunaz says growing demand across Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Jaguar commissions is following the same US-led pattern already set by the Range Rover Classic.US collectors keep proving there is room for ultra-low-volume British metal with six-figure upgrades, as long as the work feels special enough to justify it. The real test comes once the second shift is up to speed. If Lunaz holds build quality and originality with twice the headcount, its sold-out order books will not be a one-off spike.
