When I did my 90 NFU asked me for a copy of the invoice for the frame and canvas and a copy of the invoice from my installer and it wasn't an issue at all, but can't comment if it is a diy install.
I also changed it at DVLA to convertible Rob 1993 200tdi 90 hard-top 1998 300tdi 90 soft-top 2016 2.2 XS 90 hard-top (sold) |

I recently declared my soft top conversion with NFU, didnt get asked for any invoices or anything, only question I was asked was if there was a change in value of the vehicle but was very painless and no change in premium either

What exactly are you changing from-to?
110 crew cab is a four-door pickup? Are you intending to convert to a 4 door soft top, which is a non-standard conversion using aftermarket parts that are presumably not type approved in any way? My 110 was converted from 3dr van to ex-military full canvas before I bought it (exactly what I was intending to do anyway) but using all landrover standard factory parts, so my insurance have never questioned this. You may have problems with non-specialist insurers who don't understand the modular construction of the old Defenders and how they can be easily reconfigured. In fact I once prepared a fact sheet, with pictures to send to an insurance broker to explain the various body styles (swb/lwb/stationwagon/truck cab/van/ragtop/hi-cap/etc). They still didn't get 'it' and didn't get my business. Once you move away from the basic standard models (if there is such a thing for a Defender?) you are almost certainly into the realms of the specialist insurance providers. |

All sorted with insurance company, they require copies of invoices of the soft top conversion.

I’ve just gone through this in the last few days.
NFU wanted invoices (I can get them but don’t have them yet from previous owner). Went with A-Plan (Howdens) and insured as a “Leisure Van” !! for £480. |
