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."
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.
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.
