Without seeing it - it sounds like a canopy perdominatly used by SA Police in out back areas. They were build by a coach builder and as already said "RUST" was a major issue.

As already mentioned send me the pictures and I will post.

There is a few around, but not many in good condition (We have a couple of mutural friends/members with them......Mark & David)

While the tops were made by Athol Hedges and should rightly be called Athol Hedges canopys, they were usually called "Queensland tops" by us Mexicans in NSW.

The tops however did get around, Victorian AULRO member "tardis" had one on her 109 a couple of years ago. The vehicle was parted out, however the roof was still in quite good condition but lying upside down in a Land Rover grave yard on a property near Horsham in the Wimmera. Of course we had to right it so that it would last a few more years without filling with water and rusting away.

Hi All, I have been looking and finally found this post. I am the owner of the landy in "question"??.
I believe it is an Athol Hedges style roof fitted. It is steel and very heavy and has rust repairs too. It has had a second hand rear x member fitted at some time in its life due to accident damage, from an 88'' as it still has the rear spring hangers on it and so it has 2 chassis numbers. I have been told to grind off the 88'' number or remove the hangers but as yet haven't done so:angel:. Thanks to Ian for the help. Still a member of the club (LRREGSA).

Cheers
