A savvy British businessman who bought 200 Land Rovers to transform and sell for millions has revealed them all tucked away inside his secret bunker.
He made the financial gamble back in 2015.
Now his Yorkshire-based business, Twisted, is booming.
He recently revealed his haul back in 2015 tucked away in a secret location that made him his millions.

The secret bunker of Land Rovers
Charles Fawcett, founder of Twisted, specializes in bespoke modified Land Rover Defenders.
He had the foresight to buy 200 Land Rovers in 2015 and he is now getting offered hundreds of thousands of dollars to sell a single modded custom-made vehicle.
Fawcett decided to bulk buy the largest stockpile of the ‘last of the line’ undriven Defenders.
“They were all registered in 2016 – after production ceased – identifying them among the last off the line and, arguably, more collectible,” Fawcett said.
With that thought in mind, they were stored away in this bunker in an undisclosed location.
The bunker was revealed in footage Fawcett recently shared to his Instagram page.
The last time we saw a collection this huge was when a YouTuber discovered a breathtaking collection of classic Range Rovers in England.
The investment paid off
Since production of this model halted in 2016 – it turned out to be a savvy decision with their value skyrocketing.
His wealthy customers are now willing to spend up to $274,700 (£220,000) on a custom-made car.
Note that you can purchase the highest 2024 Land Rover Defender spec for less than that.
Fawcett’s company worked through the initial Land Rover stash shown here in storage and now has 16 more to offer potential buyers.
All of them are also based on the original XS spec, the highest Land Rover Defender spec at the time, and only have 30 miles on the clock.
“These sixteen 110s were hand-picked for their chassis numbers and build dates,” said Fawcett.
“They’re special, and when twisted, each one is the only one. Hence the limited run is called One of One,” he added.
What’s more, he’s now turned his attention to Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) that he dubbed the ‘4x4s of the sea’.
The Twisted T450 is the first modified vessel from Twisted Marine and, after completing testing, is ready for use.
