Heritage Automotive — Chesterfield, Derbyshire · Worldwide Commissions
BOURN
Country.
Marrying high-class exterior aggression with authentic, rugged utility for the country lifestyle.
Scroll/ 01 — Philosophy
We are not merely modifying vehicles.
We are forging the definitive automotive artifacts for the modern estate — forged in Derbyshire, commissioned worldwide.
Bourn Truck Co. fills a void in the luxury 4x4 market — a profitable niche for a modification house that marries high-class exterior aggression with authentic, rugged utility, and the country lifestyle — wherever you call home.
Existing modification houses prioritise street aesthetics over rural authenticity, producing vehicles that look out of place on any country estate. We transform standard Defenders and premium trucks into elite, purpose-built machines — each a singular commission, not a production line.
/ 02 — Armory & Field
Tactile storytelling for the rural elite.
A Bourn vehicle is a precision tool: rear-bed and cabin architecture tailored to the client's exact pursuits. We also allow for a combination of more than one — a cage for a dog or bird, alongside the gun safe and storage compartments.
In Situ — Macro Detail
The Armory
01Secure, velvet-lined drawer systems calibrated for shotguns or scoped rifles, protecting precision optics over rough terrain.
Calibrated for shotguns & scoped rifles
The Field Setup

Wash-Down Station

What our clients say.
"Bourn didn't modify my Defender — they completed it. It turns heads on the gravel and earns its keep on the moor. There is nothing else like it."
R. Hartley
Estate Owner, North Yorkshire
"From the first brief to the handover, the process felt like commissioning a piece of heritage art. The Raptor is a serious working vehicle with the finish of a luxury build."
J. Whitmore
Syndicate Gun, Cotswolds
"The gun drawer is velvet-lined to the millimetre. The dog compartment is ventilated. They understand the countryside because they live it."
C. Ainsworth
Falconer & Estate Manager, Scottish Borders
