2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Santorini Black

Soft top L663

Spotted on a video parked outside the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo. Does anyone know anything about it?

Obviously the concierge at the hotel liked it otherwise their valet parkers would have moved it off into their underground car park like they did with my Audi Avant

Suspect you may be correct as the one in the Monte Carlo video has yellow license plates and is LHD so guess it's from the Netherlands and from Heritage Customs. Defender 90XS SW

I saved pics of the conversion - you never know...

You'll need to sell the Ryobi and buy a Makita if you want to do exactly as they did

I might need a more detailed workshop manual than that

It’s better than LRs accessories instructions. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

I am not specially good in accounting, but there might be a flaw when you pay double for something whose final value is less than half. Especially if it ends up looking as good as the Evoque cabrio 🤦🏼‍♂️ 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
