You can unbolt the top of all 'proper' LR's................well, gets more difficult the newer they get cuz someone thought it wuz a good idea to put wires and headlining in and stuff.
What was it you wuz after?

Thanks for your answer Marcus 
I just want something cheap and fun to drive around town and the beach area (live in Brighton), with room for me and some mates (I notice most have some bench seats in the back). I saw one in town with no top and some funky big baloon wheels (I bet the hardcore land rover fans are cringing at this point!!)
Defenders look like good value to the untrained eye, Just based on newer stuff usually needs less work.
If it could drop a 20' boat down a slipway that would be cool, I guess this would be no bother for any landy.

generally id say the older it is the easier it is to de-roof it ,takes me about 10 minutes to remove the truckcab off mine ,mind you not all the blts are always in place
with roof !!!!
without roof !!!!(and screen and doortops )

That is exactly the type of thing I want, but looks like one that tidy is a lot of money!! I'll be after a dog I guess
I assume the lwb versions are the same story RE roof removal

would depend on the age of the vehikkle i think ,older series landys were designed that way ,ie no seatbelts in the rear etc ,and the roof is just there to keep you dry ,might be differant tho if you were to stuff a couple of orange boxes/bean bags in the back of a defender

Learning helluva lot about mechanics tells its own story - sounds like a nightmare to me
