THE JOURNEY

Enhancing a Legend since 1975

Overfinch has an unrivalled history of achievement and ground-breaking innovation.

As the originator of after-market Range Rover tuning, our pedigree can be traced back to 1975. Since our inception, we have remained dedicated to the sympathetic enhancement of the World’s best luxury 4×4. This is achieved through a programme of continuous research & development, the maintenance of top class production facilities, and a commitment to designs that enhance the dynamics and enjoyment of the vehicle.
