The Oshe Zambezi Land Rover Defender is far more than a restoration. It is a complete rebirth of the classic Defender 110, blending the authenticity of its heritage with modern technology and design innovation. Each vehicle is stripped down to its bare chassis and undergoes a meticulous 2,000-hour rebuild. Every panel is smoothed and perfected, resulting in a seamless body that respects the Defender’s iconic character while elevating its refinement.
Under the hood lies a powerful 6.2-litre V8 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination transforms the Defender into a machine that thrives on both asphalt and rugged terrain. Driving dynamics are further enhanced by electronically controlled suspension and high-performance AP Racing brakes, ensuring control and confidence in every condition.
Inside, the Zambezi expresses a unique philosophy: luxury with an African soul. Acacia and Zebrano woods enrich the cabin, while each vehicle features a one-of-a-kind hand-painted Ndebele artwork by South African artist Anna Selomo from Limpopo. Heated Muirhead leather seats and a premium Audison & Morel audio system complete the experience, merging craftsmanship with comfort.
Every Zambezi is fully customizable: from exterior paintwork and interior finishes to body style — whether station wagon, double cab pickup, or soft top. This ensures that each Defender Zambezi becomes a one-of-a-kind creation, a true reflection of its owner’s vision and personality.
