Classic Overland makes its debut as a Title Sponsor at Overland Expo SoCal 2026, bringing a lineup built to stop you mid-aisle. Leading the charge is a commanding 6x6 Defender, joined by the heritage-driven Warthog Series and the fully bespoke Signature Series.
The Warthog Series stays true to utility and purpose, rooted in classic Defender DNA and built for real-world adventure. The Signature Series elevates the platform with hand-stitched interiors, premium materials, and modern performance options including LT1 power. Together, they showcase two philosophies united by craftsmanship and capability.
Throughout the weekend, Camel Trophy veteran Jim West will host live Defender heritage sessions at the Classic Overland booth, sharing firsthand expedition stories and insight into why the Defender remains the ultimate global platform.
