In parallel to Land Rover doing the 'proper' 50th Anniversary V8 Automatic Station Wagon, Special Vehicles also did a limited edition '50th edition' Hard-Top.





This was produced right at the very end of 'Tdi' production (i.e. the 50th V8s were all manufactured in a batch between April 98 to July 98, the Tdi hard-tops were produced July/August 98 ). Td5 production started in September 98.





It was really a 'run out' special edition 90 hard-top, so anyone VAT registered (i.e. Farmers) could have something a bit special. It wasn't Atlantis Blue like the V8s - it was available in Cobalt Blue, Woodcote Green and Rioja Red from memory.





It was a basically a standard 90 300 Tdi Hard-top with the County Pack, plus the gunmetal grey alloy wheels, checker plate, alloy gear knobs and winders and a plaque on the back - but they weren't numbered like the V8 50ths.





I think 150 were made………….
