Arksen Overland has always been about much more than ownership. It’s about the experiences that are available to our community and the opportunities to go beyond the norm.
Our mission through a syndicate will be to provide you with all the access you need, whilst still offering excellent value for money.
Our current estimated build time* is 6-12 months depending on the model, and whether it is a new build or if you adopt a build already in progress.
Due to the care and attention needed for each vehicle, our production slots are limited.

The Arksen D110 and P110 have different powertrains but the 300TDI and Isuzu should return around 15L/100km. Both have an 80L fuel tank, with a long-range tank options available.
