Convertible 90
Here’s the finished product, I’m sure there was images on here somewhere of them cutting the roof off. Built by Niels Van Roij Design.

Well, it looks okay, a nod to the old 90 soft top.

Probably more of a fashion statement and the roof would rarely be lowered. Have you ever seen an Evoque cabrio with the roof down?

Looks even more like a Suzuki Vitara from the 90s Rolling Eyes

I like the idea of it but not the execution of it.

If it’s just for fun I’d rather have this from Land Rover classic.

I like it. And the color combination.

I really don't understand LR in this regard. The L663 is a terrific vehicle, but they should have gone a more flexible route with the body. Ford did it right with the new Bronco. Making an open back Version with a roll cage structure to replace the missing body bits would have allowed the same rigidity and safety as with a full body. And this would also have made a 130 pick-up possible. Neutral

This is cool. JLR should make a convertible 90.

LR have said a pick up is possible if demand is there. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue
