A few from me
Well you know how it is, you park in a supermarket, and when you go back to your Land Rover, there is another one next to it - spotted this Belgian TD5 in Cochem on the Mosel in Germany

Also in Cochem - this well travelled 110

Also spotted this Puma in Breda, Holland - note the slight raised roof extension

Happened to me the other day, came out and there were two 90's parked either side of my 110.

All in a Lidl carpark!

Ah, they might be. The drivers side window (its LHD) was also blanked out from the inside, so what you see is in effect a 'dummy' window.

I was wondering why. Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

Yeah well don't quote me on it but I thought that in holland vehicles over a certain height(presumably just over defender height) can be a different tax class? (Not 100% sure why) Cheers, David

Yes, it is a tax classification. To apply for business tax classification a shape of 125 x 20 x 98 cm (length x width x height) must fit in the load space. So the boot has to be 98 cm height, therefore a small section of the roof has to made higher.

Strange tax systems here in the Netherlands. For my Defender 110, as a private owner, I have to pay 2180 € (yes, that much! Big Cry Big Cry ) annually road tax. The same car, as a business car, is 460 €. But to apply as business car you have to have a real business of course, and the car has to be commercial - therefore to boot dimensions. Cheers, Vincent

^^ I was shocked when I was in Holland only last week with regards to prices, and taxes! The raised roofs look very "bodgit and scarper" to me Laughing An engine to TDi for!
