I was browsing an online parts catalogue this morning when I stumbled across a genuine parts listing for a Discovery Hard Top! It was listed for the Danish market, the part number of the hard top is STC7156, here's a picture:

Has anyone encountered one of these rare beasts? I've seen plenty of chopped about Discos but never a factory model, anyone got any pictures etc??

Swiss and Dutch markets had them due 110s failing their emmissions rule so a Disco 'flat bed' was produced to take the 110 pickups place. The British Army tested prototype disco pickups in the first Gulf War as the army commeanders were impressed with the D1 then.

I've yet to see a disco cabriolet but some were made for customers from the Middle East.. where else.

any pictures or links to pics of the above? I've seen the Army "challenger" prototype based on the disco, just wondering if the swiss/dutch version is any different
