Currently offered for sale.
Master Crafted
Painstakingly built by Jared Lemana and team at Churchill Classics in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Most builders build for volume—this Land Rover was built over 4 years while obsessing over every part and fit for lasting quality and aesthetic.
Off-Road Ready
The Black Bear was developed from the perfect formula for both on-road and off-road use. The formula is to never overbuild the truck, but to improve it with the right blend of modifications to handle any terrain no matter how gnarly.
Rugged & Elegant
The Black Bear design adhered to the philosophy of "less is more.” From the beginning, these simple, robust, and charming utility vehicles were never over-designed—a tenet that the Black Bear carries forward for both rugged utility and understated style.
“When you drive a vintage Land Rover you separate what’s important from what’s not; you live the signal and lose the noise”
