Hard top for Defender soft top?

[Tophatron]

Hi,

I'm on the lookout for a Defender, and one has popped up that seems really good price wise, but it's a (I think factory) soft top. Is there a hard top available or any similar option?

Also, does anyone know if the towing capacity is the same for the hard and soft tops? It's a 2007 year car if that makes any difference.

Thanks!

Is it metallic green with a roll cage ? If it's not then its probably not a factory one

The £17k one that's on Autotrader? It's not that one if so.

Cheers for the reply. I spoke to LR customer services and they confirmed it's a factory soft top.

Here's a pic:

Thats a really interesting one !!

Its odd (in an interesting way !!) looks like an exmoor trim roof, then there is the fact its a new ish colour with none painted wheel arches ( very odd !!) and interesting light guards

I can only think its a special order or a factory trial car (I have a range rover whicch was a factory car which again is a good thing)

Be great to hear more about it if you buy it, could be an interesting story

Good luck

Cheers. It's actually in Cyprus and according to LR a Cypriot market car. I don't know too much else apart from that it's a 2006 MY TD5, low mileage and is totally mint underneath (thank you Mediterranean weather).

Anything it would be good to ask/check out that would reveal any clues to it's origin?
