THE OSHE DEFENDER — OKAVANGO
 

Full Oshe 1 of 1 Design

Oshe takes an iconic Land Rover Defender and strips it back to the bare essentials, then rebuilds, re-engineers and redesigns it — blending the beauty of the past with today's innovations. This car is finished in Okavango Green with a full heritage-style body and hand-finished interior detailing.Each Oshe Defender is named after an African river, and no two specs are ever repeated. This one — Okavango — is a fully bespoke restomod built on the unmistakably iconic Land Rover Defender chassis, blending Series 2A heritage styling with modern engineering and interior luxury.
