Signature Autosports Presents a Performance LS3-Powered 2026 OC90 Station Wagon Built for Power, Craftsmanship, and Everyday Adventure
Few utility vehicles carry the kind of instant recognition earned by Britain’s most enduring off-road silhouettes. Flat panels. Alpine-style roof glass. Upright proportions. Short overhangs. A shape designed for purpose long before “lifestyle vehicle” became a marketing department’s favorite phrase.

Now available from Signature Autosports, this 2026 Osprey Custom 4x4 OC90 Station Wagon takes that unmistakable heritage-inspired profile and reengineers it with modern performance LS3 V8 power, premium materials, upgraded drivability, and hand-finished craftsmanship throughout.

Finished in Fuji White with gloss black wheel arches, black exterior hardware, and bold Osprey bonnet lettering, this 3-door station wagon blends classic British utility character with the confidence, comfort, and performance expected from a modern bespoke build.

HERITAGE FORM. GROUND-UP EXECUTION.
This is not a quick cosmetic refresh.

It is a new ground-up build of an Osprey Custom 4x4 OC90 Station Wagon, constructed on a new galvanized chassis and finished with the kind of attention to detail that defines the Osprey philosophy.

The exterior honors the timeless proportions of classic British expedition vehicles: compact, upright, purposeful, and instantly recognizable. But every detail has been sharpened with intent.

The Fuji White body is contrasted by gloss black wheel arches, all-black KBX grille and intake elements, smoked LED lighting, LED halo headlights, black anodized aluminum Optimill exterior hinges, door handles, and side mirrors with puddle lamps, flush rear side Masai windows, tubular side steps, and a slimline front bumper with LED daytime running lights and front A-bar.

The look is clean, confident, and deliberately restrained.
No unnecessary theater.
No cartoonish excess.
Just the right mix of classic utility character and modern Osprey presence.

LS3 POWER. SIX-SPEED CONFIDENCE.
Under the hood sits a performance 6.2L LS3 V8 crate engine—with approximately 495 hp and 473 lb•ft of torque—a modern engine that transforms the character of this OC90 without overwhelming its purpose.

Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a Camaro-style shift lever, the drivetrain gives this build the kind of effortless power and smooth drivability that makes it equally at home on back roads, highways, beach drives, and weekend escapes.

This is not old-truck charm with old-truck compromise.

It has the shape people love, backed by the performance they actually want.

The result is direct, confident, and unmistakably modern—a classic utility wagon with real power underfoot and the hardware to make that power usable.

BUILT TO BE USED
An Osprey build has to look right.

But it also has to work.

This OC90 rides on Terrafirma shocks and springs, supported by Terrafirma steering rods and a steering stabilizer for improved control and confidence. A ProTrac aluminum front skid plate adds protection beneath the nose, while 4-wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors front and rear provide modern stopping performance.

Diamond cut Sawtooth alloy wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich T/A KO3 all-terrain tires complete the stance, giving the vehicle a balanced mix of road presence, trail readiness, and confident all-terrain capability.

A NAS-style rear step bumper with a 2-inch receiver adds function at the back, while the tubular side steps, front safety cage, and upgraded exterior lighting reinforce the sense that this OC90 was built to be driven, used, and enjoyed.

Not parked under a cover and whispered about.
Driven.

PREMIUM INSIDE. PRACTICAL BY DESIGN.
Inside, the cabin shifts from rugged utility to handcrafted comfort.

The heated front captain’s seats are trimmed in Flaxen Tan leather using a stock-inspired leather pattern with matching thread, creating a warm contrast against the Fuji White exterior and black upper trim. The Mountney dark wood steering wheel, Optimill aluminum interior handles, leather-wrapped interior pull handles, and aluminum HVAC controls package add a refined, tailored feel without losing the vehicle’s original character.

A black Alcantara headliner brings a premium finish overhead, while rich black carpeting and a full set of rubber mats keep the cabin usable when the adventure gets less polished.

The dashboard follows a modernized utility layout, integrating familiar classic architecture with contemporary convenience, including air conditioning, front power windows, and a Kenwood head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, backup camera, amplifier, and a Rockford Fosgate 8-speaker sound system with subwoofer and dedicated subwoofer control knob.

It feels classic.
It works modern.
That is exactly the point.

SEVEN-PASSENGER ADVENTURE UTILITY
The rear cabin is where this OC90 becomes especially compelling.

Behind the front captain’s seats, four custom-stitched folding rear seats provide flexible passenger capacity while preserving the open, functional character that makes a 3-door station wagon so appealing.

The load-space floor is finished in teak and maple wood inlay, giving the rear compartment a yacht-like warmth that pairs beautifully with the Flaxen Tan leather. Rear air conditioning, with vents mounted at the back of the center console, helps make the cabin more comfortable for passengers beyond the front row.

It is rugged enough for trail gear.
Refined enough for dinner plans.
And flexible enough to bring more than one lucky passenger along for the ride.
