From the very beginning, the company's founder Amadeus Matzker was at the forefront of development at the Cologne-based Land Rover specialist.
His passion for rallying accompanied him his entire life, so it was only a logical step to pursue this love professionally as well. On 24 January 2016, Amadeus Matzker died in a fatal accident in the Mauritanian desert at a much too young age.
"As a designer and automotive technician, Amadeus Matzker had a natural talent and an unflagging passion. Amadeus Josef Johannes Matzker's passion for special vehicles was evident from his earliest youth. Although he had been baptised by his parents with the first names of famous composers in the hope of a great musical career, his everlasting interest in Land Rover vehicles crystallised early on. He developed his genius in technology. His music was the roar of the engines."
