Cars converted to pick ups

Civic Type R pickup https://www.topgear.com/car-news/hot-hatch/yes-165...

I don't know if there are any other pickups with a rear spoiler and the back opens upwards?
Didn't see that the Civic had an article about it https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Keep the original registration number
Your vehicle must have 8 or more points from the table below if you want to keep the original registration number. 5 of these points must come from having the original or new and unmodified chassis, monocoque bodyshell or frame.
Part Points
Chassis, monocoque bodyshell (body and chassis as one unit) or frame - original or new and unmodified (direct from manufacturer) 5
Suspension (front and back) - original 2
Axles (both) - original 2
Transmission - original 2
Steering assembly - original 2
Engine - original 1
Get a ‘Q’ registration number
You will not be able to keep your vehicle’s original registration number if one of the following applies:
it has fewer than 8 points
it has a second-hand or altered chassis, monocoque bodyshell or frame
there’s evidence that 2 vehicles have been welded together to form one (ie ‘cut and shut’)
Your vehicle must pass the relevant type approval test to get a ‘Q’ prefix registration number.

Having developed an unhealthy obsession with the Ford Galaxie of late, stumbled across this at the weekend and can't work out if it's sacrilege, or genius.

Hi all,
I know that this is an older thread but wondered why there are so few pick-up conversations which retain the lines of the donor car’s roof.
An Audi A6 (c6) Saloon for example would lend itself very well to this style of conversation as you could remove the boot lid, the rear window and you’re half way there.
But you’d keep the flowing lines of the roof and retain a great deal more of the structural integrity of the shell.

Not sure what you're looking at but most of the cars shown on this page retain their roofline.......I know that this is an older thread but wondered why there are so few pick-up conversations which retain the lines of the donor car’s roof.

Thank you for that. I knew there were some rules but didn't know what they were. I do now.Your vehicle must have 8 or more points from the table below if you want to keep the original registration number. 5 of these points must come from having the original or new and unmodified chassis, monocoque bodyshell or frame.
