Default Range Rover Convertible

I recently came upon a 1995 Range Rover County LWB, and first thing I thought about was all of those cool Broncos converted into convertibles. Was wondering if anyone knew if this had been done before, if there were any companies that specialized in it, or if it could even be done.. any information is helpful.. thanks

Its been done for sure. There is a guy who posts on Pirate 4x4 who has a '83 range rover soft-top. I am sure any custom fab shop would be willing to do this for the right price.

in about 5 years when my Disco is on 35" mud tires and lifted a good 5-8" (and I have that Jetta TDI I've been eyeing for my daily driver) I plan on converting it to a soft top. Custom roll cage and everything, should be fun :P

People have been making convertibles out of RR's for years. Here is a picture of one I found while roaming around in the Arizona desert.
