ABOUT US
WE ARE MAHKER
We are an internationally inspired workshop, crafting outstanding vehicles through hand-built components and an uncompromising attention to detail. Every build begins with a vision and ends with a machine defined by quality, character, and endless possibility.
Based in the heart of Shropshire, we are proudly British built. Our team of highly skilled engineers share a relentless pursuit of excellence, applying traditional craftsmanship alongside modern engineering to every project we undertake.
We specialise in modifying classic Land Rovers, blending heritage with modern performance. From BMW M57 diesel conversions to Corvette LS3 V8-powered builds, our work redefines what these iconic vehicles are capable of—without losing their soul. Alongside our bespoke builds, we continue to care for and preserve the older generation Series Land Rovers and Range Rover Classics, ensuring these legends remain on the road for generations to come.
Mahker, alongside our sister company 4x4Fabrication.co.uk, was founded by Dave Lea in 2009. After serving seven years in the Royal Marines as an engineer, Dave sought to continue working with engines, machinery, and precision engineering—leading to the creation of 4×4 Fabrication.
As the business evolved from a service-led workshop into full bespoke vehicle builds, the desire grew to place a distinct mark of pride and excellence on the machines leaving our doors. From that ambition, the Mahker badge was born—representing craftsmanship without compromise.
