Man buys 240 Defenders on borrowed money, turns £8 million gamble into £50 million payday: "Everyone thought we were nuts"

Charles Fawcett took a massive risk in 2015, buying 240 new Land Rover Defenders as production ended. He rebuilt each vehicle into a high-end custom machine. These modified Defenders, once utilitarian, became six-figure collectibles. The project generated over 50 million pounds for Fawcett's company, Twisted Automotive. This investment turned a bold bet into a remarkable automotive success story.
