Motorcraft took my chassis cab and did a complete build, from adding an extra seat in the cab, respraying the truck , building the habitation box and fitting out the interior. They have done a fantastic job and the quality finish delivered is from what I have seen, the best in the UK, and equally competes with any of the top European builders too but at a better price point. The new factory they have moved to is impressive and the team were superb in the last week spent there with them while they finished off a few last touches and gave me some training on the vehicle. Special thanks to Matt who went out of his way to make sure all the last finishing touches were signed off and completed.
Popped in and explained the short timeframe I was under. They went above and beyond to help me. Supplying and fitting a roof pod. I highly recommend this business. I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. Their staff are not only friendly but also highly skilled.
UPDATED FOOTNOTE! Amazing service at all levels. We purchased 2 safari windows, 4 windows, skylight, 6 hatches, 10 covers and a door for our Overlander truck in a RAL colour (accurate paint match). We visited their premises for an insurance valuation and they were insistent that they check over everything they had supplied. We are about to start work on a second truck so will be using this company again for all the doors, windows, hatches, grilles and covers, etc. Thank you so much for your help and hospitality and look forward to working with you again. UPDATE - Just returned from 14 months in Europe & Africa (40,000km) and called into Motorcraft. We needed a couple of adjustments and small repairs to the windows. Once again a brilliant job done and appreciate the great service. Thank you.

I'm delighted with my build which came in on budget, thanks to Ian being clever and making suggestions on how to save where it mattered, but without compromising strength, safety or the original brief I gave him. Ian took a shabby army truck and turned it into a thing of beauty that turns heads everywhere. Of course you can be more subdued if you don't like to stand out. I love my truck. I love the quality of the construction and the extra mile Motorcraft go to in ensuring peace of mind. There is one downside, like any craftsman of great reputation, there is a queue! But all good things come to those who wait, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. See you on the road :-)
Motorcraft built our expedition vehicle/overlander/home on wheels on the back of a MAN HX60. From beginning to end they were brilliant. Ian, is like Da Vinci with metal. And combined with the experience they have in the business, they are able to suggest brilliant solutions you otherwise wouldn’t even realise you need. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and I wouldn’t hesitate to return to them in the future if we outgrow our current truck.
