Classic Overland Information

In the 140-year history of the Automobile, only one can be associated with both Queens and Pig Farmers. The Land Rover Defender's no-nonsense style appeals to everyone. Steve McQueen owned one. Paul McCartney wrote a song about one. Hell even James Bond has traded in his Aston Martin for one. Few will disagree that it’s among the greatest 4x4’s ever built, anywhere. Nothing screams adventure like a Land Rover Defender. It’s with adventure in mind that Classic Overland works to bring meticulously restored, Vintage Defenders, with state of the art accessories, into the United States. Stebin Horne fell in love with Defenders, and with the overland experience while living in Africa. He travelled the country in Outfitted Safari Vehicles, and it didn’t take long for it to become clear he wanted to bring this sense of freedom and adventure, home to the States. Marrying into a South African Family connected him with his “Swarrie” (Afrikaans for Brother-In Law) Gerhard Du Toit. Stebin and Gerhard spent a considerable amount of time in Africa Locating Inventory and developing relationships in the Land Rover Marketplace. Upon Stebin’s return to America, he approached his hometown friend and successful entrepreneur Stewart Vernon, and the three of them formed Classic Overland. Together they bring the perfect blend of experience and expertise to offer a superior overland product to discerning clients.
