I spotted this being advertised for sale recently on dealers website.
http://www.rrsport.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10015/Range%252520Rover%252520soft%252520top%2525201992% 252520ex%252520saudi%252.jpg

The blurb says it is a Range Rover 3.9Efi, 1992, Factory fitted soft top, Metallic Green, Freestyles, A/Con, 26000kms and "Very rare opportunity!"
£8995. The only other comments are that it has now sold and it was built for somebody in Saudi.................
Looking closely at the picture it appears to have been fitted with a Defender front screen and wipers, set back at a rakish angle and why all the indicator repeaters across the bonnet top. More intakes than a MaxPower Saxo too.

Does anybody know if it was a Special Vehicles one-off (I hope there aren't any more like around) or a Wood and Pickett special. I read the "factory fitted soft top" to mean it was done by Solihull, but it could of course been a Wood and Picket factory fit!:eek::eek::eek:

I've no idea about it, I'm afraid, but despite staring long and hard, I really couldn't decide if I liked it or not.

Perhaps if it lost the bullbar, the screen surround were painted the same colour as the rest of the vehicle, and the orange bits went in the bin... Hmm, I think I could love it then. :rolleyes:

It reminds me a bit of a Hillman that I was fond of in my youth.

Obviously my taste is rather suspect!

wood and pickett i reckon. similar cabrio to them. or vantagefield.

body colour painting would improve it somewhat

it looks sad, i kinda want to put it out of its misery, and what lunatic would spend nigh on £9000 for it?
