The Zambezi is a four-seat pickup built on the Defender 110 chassis and rebuilt from bare metal with over 2,000 hours of restoration. Rivets, seams, and panel gaps are eliminated to achieve a flawless exterior. Powertrain and performance upgrades include a 6.2-litre V8 paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, tractive electronic-controlled suspension, AP Racing brakes, a stainless steel exhaust, and an F1-spec wiring harness for refined on-road manners and formidable off-road capability. Rich Acacia and Zebrano woods, a hand-painted Ndebele control-plate artwork by Anna Selomo, heated Muirhead leather bucket seats, and an Alcantara headliner combine cultural craftsmanship with luxurious comfort. The design accommodates surfboards, mountain bikes, and camping gear, emphasizing versatility and adventure-ready utility.
When the road ends, the Oshe Zambezi begins. Versatile, adventurous, and unapologetically bold, this one-of-a-kind 4-seat pickup is everything an enthusiast could want when it comes to fusing timeless design with cutting-edge performance. Whether you're piling on surfboards, mountain bikes, or camping gear, the Zambezi is built for those who live life in motion. It's more than just a custom Land Rover Defender-it's a machine meticulously engineered to be as unique as its driver.
The Zambezi starts with the classic Defender 110 chassis, but from there, everything changes. Oshe Automotive strips the vehicle down to bare metal and rebuilds it piece by piece, spending over 2,000 hours to restore and enhance every inch. Rivets, seams, and panel gaps are eliminated, giving the Zambezi a flawless finish. Under the hood lies a muscular 6.2-litre V8 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, making it just as smooth on the highway as it is unstoppable off-road.
What sets the Zambezi apart isn't just engineering-it's artistry. Every Oshe build carries Africa in its DNA. Rich Acacia and Zebrano woods line the cabin, while each model features a bespoke piece of hand-painted Ndebele art on the control plate, created on Oshe's Limpopo reserve by resident artist Anna Selomo. This infusion of heritage ensures the Zambezi isn't just a luxury vehicle-it's a cultural statement on wheels.
