Do they sell 90 and 110 HARD TOPS in OZ?

[YOLO110]

Hi Guys,

Just visiting the UK... Defenders everywhere!

A huge number are the so called 'Hard Tops'... 'Panel Vans' I guess in Oz speak!

I have not seen any on the road in Oz... are they sold here? Does anyone have one, I think they look rather cool!

Cheers,

Pete.

Most of the ones I see are hard tops (wagons), in fact the only soft tops I see are a couple of Perenties around the eastern suburbs.

Mine is definitely a hard top 110.

The 90 as only ever been sold in AU as a 3 door Station Wagon.

The 90 Truck Cab, 90 Hard Top ( No Windows ) and the 90 Chassis cab never sold here, you could convert a 90 SW into any of these if you have deep pockets to buy New Genuine Parts.

There was a brand new 2 door 110 hard top , in keswick green for sale a few months back . You used to be able to order them , but as there now on run out , I wouldn't fancy your chances . They did sell some , but were never as popular as the wagons , or 130 duel cabs !1.. Jim

The 110's were available for a while. I think our local dealer bought one into WA in 2013 as a demo but generally I think you generally had to order them. We considered it when we ordered my 110 wagon as we really only wanted 2 seats but it wasn't specced as well as the wagons. Not all of the variations were available and it was one of the first models cut.

AFAIK the 90 was never available.

Thanks for the replies!

By the 'hard top' I actually mean the 90 or 110 Station Wagon WITHOUT the rear windows! A bit like these...





I am wondering if in Oz we have any 'rule' that would prohibit a vehicle without having rear glass in place!!! Visibility and all that!

Cool trucks eh!

No "rules" I'm aware of. An old friend had a 110 hardtop a few years ago. They are around, just not real common.

Classed as commercial. Only requires windscreen and the two side windows on the doors.

The windowless hardtop is, as far as I know, unique to the UK, a side effect of vehicle classification rules. They have never been sold in Australia, although a few would have been personal imports. For example one Series2a I have is such a vehicle - with side windows added since it arrived in Australia!
