My pre Defender 110 still has the 3 ribbed roof on it but I was wondering when they stopped. Was it in '91 when they actually started marketing them as Defenders?
 
Ribbed for her pleasure apparently.

My hardtop didn't have the ribs on the outside and that was, I believe, from a 1993 fender.

My current truck cab on the other hand does and it looks quite newish.
 
I've got a ribbed 110 roof from 1989……going to go chop it up later this week to make my king cab roof :eek:
 
If I had had one of them there posh roof linings my ribs would be found under it, as the lining has to be tacked on to summat! ;) ;)
 
The roof was changed from external ribs to internal ribs on the 1989 Model Year - so, from late 1988 onwards.

My 'G' Reg. 110 Hardtop, which I bought new in October 1989, has an internally ribbed roof.


They changed back to small external ribs, at some point during TD5 production.

I reckon my truck cab is off a TD5, I'm sure that's what the guy at the garage said, and I've got external ribs but they're not overly prominent

That sounds about right, mine was a late "F" reg (just before the G came out) and had the smooth roof. I remember reading before I took delivery of mine that they were changing.
