Inward facing seat conversion on 2012 / 2103 90 hard top
Hi Chaps,

My first post, so please be gentle.

Once again I'm seriously considering buying a Defender, and there's currently some really nice hard tops for sale in my price bracket. The defender will be my only car and I need some occasional seats in the back. Is it legal to add inward facing seats to a latish defender 90 hard top?

Cheers - JustinP

No but you can fit the folding forward facing ones.

I thought Exmoor did them but I can't find them on their website.

Legalities and safety issues aside the first thing you need to do is ask your insurance company for their views. Steve.

Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW.

Have a look at my thread - I used CSK Automotive (Killer90 on here) tub conversion panels and genuine Land Rover everything else. Reason I went to this bother was the exmoor ones don't give you any gap between the rear seats, which I believe would be a pain if you're trying to get both kids in and out the back a lot. My Defender with the rear seat conversion all done is currently in the for sale section Whistle

Hi Fish13, I've looked at your 90 hard top advert quite a few times, and it looks terrific, but coming from a highish spec BMW125d, and prior to that a Full Fat RR supercharged, I'm not going to be happy unless I have a few more creature comforts such as air con. I've therefore decided on a double cab XS spec.

No worries, I was just adding a cheeky bump, it was more so you could see a before and after with the seat conversion. Double cab is probably best of both worlds, excellent choice!
