    Discovery Convertable/soft top?

    Has anyone ever seen this done, or thought about it?
    Could it be done legally with a roll bar?
    Would you need a roll bar behind the windscreen also?

    Here's a Rangie convertible conversion, so it's probably not impossible on a Disco.

    there is a range rover convertible that i've seen down here a couple of times, so it must be able to be done legally. Precisely how is another matter all together, but as it's a body on chassis construction it shouldn't be too hard.

    Just cut ya roof off and see what happens

    Or maybe just make a big open sunroof instead? Like a big one taking up most of the roof.

    yep... the worst thing about Discos is looks .... (yes I do own one)

    so any adjustment to the ugly roofline has every chance of improving things

    Obviously there have been Freelanders which are kind of convertibles (1/2 anyway).

    Quite a few Rangies have been "coverted" as well.

    No mate but it is a Rangie not a Disco, eh !


    Here's a RR Sport convertible.
    Some people have too much money evidently.
    (Oh look an Arab grown rich off oil prices how surprising!)
