Hi all, I'm thinking of swapping my old Landy 90 for a nearly new one, as I'm not very practical at repairs and just want a reliable one that doesn't need much tinkering!

The one I've seen for sale has an observation hatch in the roof , it says for shooting and country sports. I've been to look at it and it's a tidy job, but the garage couldn't give me any more info and the sales guy said it may be a factory fit- do LR fit these at factory?
Anyone else got experience of these? It looks ok but I wouldn't use it, and would probably need a need roof panel if it gets leaky?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
 
no idea on the modern stuff but usually the only roof hatches iv experienced have been on military vehicles so check to see if its ex military

If it looks ok and is sealed and locks nicely i wouldnt be too worried.
 
don't know if you can buy them from the factory like that but there's quite a few round here with hatches used for shooting. Not an issue really so long as it's a tidy job and doesn't leak.
 
You could always swap the roof if you're happy with the rest of the vehicle but don't want the hatch.

These hatches would not be seen on vehicles still on the production assembly line but Land Rover has a department called Special Vehicle Operations that could handle it easily. Could be a good mod for Ed China of Wheeler Dealers, if you have seen him driving a sports car you will know what I mean.
If you do buy this vehicle you will be able to park in some very narrow parking spaces !
Or transport the occasional sapling or fruit tree.
