Vehicle assessment
A documented inspection to understand condition, provenance, corrosion, mechanical needs and the right level of intervention.

HeritageHistory, ready to be driven.
Restoration and carefully judged restomods for significant vehicles—preserving the character of their era while improving reliability, comfort and the experience of ownership.
Nairobi · Kenya
The proposition
A vehicle does not become new by erasing its age. Kifaru Heritage protects the architecture and character that made it significant, then renews the mechanical, ergonomic and material details that let it be used with confidence today.
Capability framework
A disciplined scope, built around the vehicle.
Every commission is configured around its vehicle, owner and intended use.
Body & structure
Chassis, corrosion and body restoration pathways with repair decisions recorded before work begins.
Mechanical renewal
Engine, transmission, braking, steering and driveline scopes developed around safety, reliability and the vehicle’s intended character.
Original or reimagined
A clear choice between period-correct restoration and a sympathetic restomod with discreetly integrated reliability, comfort and usability.
Paint & trim
Material, colour and finish studies developed as one coherent exterior and interior specification.
Handover record
A build record covering decisions, key parts, maintenance guidance and work completed.
How we think
From intent to evidence.
A clear sequence keeps aesthetic decisions, engineering decisions and commercial decisions aligned.

Common questions
Before the first conversation.
Can a vehicle remain close to factory specification?+
Yes. The discovery stage is designed to separate originality-led restoration from restomod work before the scope is approved.
Which vehicles are in focus?+
Classic Land Rover, Defender and Toyota Land Cruiser platforms are central to Heritage, subject to inspection and parts availability.
Can you estimate cost from photographs?+
Photographs begin the conversation. A dependable scope follows a physical assessment and agreed specification.
