Osprey Custom 4×4, world-renowned custom vehicle atelier, proudly present their latest triumph: an exquisite Epsom Green Metallic 5-Door Station Wagon, integrating a seamless blend of modern automotive technology and the timeless allure of a legendary British offroader.

This robust build was completed by our team of skilled Master Craftsmen at our headquarters in Castle Hayne, North Carolina in April 2024. Under the bonnet lies a feisty 6.2L Corvette® LS3 V8 providing spirited forward motivation, while the precise-shifting 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission controlled by a PCS® push-button gear selector with LED display mated to a heavy-duty, center differential lock-equipped LT230 transfer case distributes constant power to all four wheels, ensuring the brawny 430+ horsepower and 425+ pound-feet of torque makes it to the ground. Powerful disc brakes at all four corners ensure stops are quiet, safe, quick, and efficient.

The upgraded heavy-duty front and rear axles are mounted on the new hot-dipped galvanized chassis, supported by slightly elevated Terrafirma® shocks and springs. The chassis features Terrafirma® caster-corrected front and cranked rear radius arms, track rod, drag link, and steering damper, all safeguarded by a heavy-duty aluminum front skid plate. The vehicle stands on bold, satin black 18-inch Iconisus® “ICON7” alloy wheels wrapped with beefy 275/70R18 Goodyear® Wrangler Territory® MT (Maximum Traction) tires offering superb traction on or off-road with an open tread design that provides the grip you need even when the pavement ends.

The body was skillfully finished in deep Epsom Green Metallic, with sleek and sophisticated deep-tinted, flush-fitting rear side- and rear quarter-glass panels, complemented by color-matched wheel arches and trim, all meticulously executed at our in-house body and paint facility. The front of this impressive sport utility vehicle features a gloss black KBX® Saudi-spec grille with a satin silver wire mesh insert, gloss black light surrounds, KBX® side intake, and KBX® Hi-Force® wing top vents, as well as satin black chequer plate wing top protection. Additional features include Optimill® LED-illuminated puddle lamps, Optimill® black anodized aluminum door handles, and Optimill® black anodized aluminum door, bonnet, and windscreen hinges, enhancing the exterior’s visual appeal.

LED headlamps with smoked marker, turn, reverse, and tail lamps provide precise, modern illumination. The impressive front features a satin black powder-coated slim-line bumper with two integrated LED daytime running lamps. At the rear, the vehicle features a satin black powder-coated North American Spec (NAS) step bumper, designed to accommodate a high-definition rearview camera, a 2-inch hitch receiver, and jacking/recovery points.

Satin black “Fire & Ice”-style side steps with black rubber tread plates make for easy ingress and egress to the leather-laden passenger cabin. Behind the dark wood-rimmed steering wheel with stainless steel spokes is an impressive driver command center focused around our exclusive 12.3” high-definition digital instrument cluster, blending the timeless style of factory gauges with the latest technology. The modern-style dash offers excellent heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. This 9-passenger, family-sized Station Wagon, as they’re quaintly referred to on the other side of the pond, also features our new rear air conditioning system, offering additional cooling for your guests on hot summer days.

The well-appointed interior is complete with supple Saddle Tan leather upholstered heated front sport seats and matching second-row 60/40 split-bench seat. Four side-facing, stowable rear seats with matching upholstery provide versatility, offering seating for friends and family or transforming into utilitarian cargo space with over 55 cubic feet available when the seats are folded. The dash and door cards are upholstered in the same supple Saddle Tan leather, while brushed billet aluminum interior door pulls, door handles, lock escutcheons, and grab handles add bright touches to this unexpectedly refined interior. Topping it all off is a luxurious charcoal Alcantara headlining.

A piano black center fascia houses a state-of-the-art infotainment system featuring an Atoto® S8 Android-based 7-inch HD capacitive touch-screen head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, dual Bluetooth®, built-in Digital Signal Processor, and GPS navigation. The audio experience is enhanced by a rich-sounding Rockford Fosgate® 8-speaker array plus a Rockford Fosgate® Punch® P3S 8″ dual voice coil subwoofer, backed by a Blaupunkt® 4-channel, 1600 watt amplifier.

Convenient amenities in the vehicle include central locking, power windows, a leather-wrapped center console with a storage cubby, a wireless charger for your mobile devices, USB charging points, and two oversized aluminum cup holders. The front windscreen is heated for extra frosty mornings, and security is handled by a Viper® keyless entry system with remote starting. To protect the interior, heavy-duty rubber floor mats are provided for the fully carpeted front and rear footwells, as well as the rear loadspace/passenger area.
