It has the satnav/antennas for things internally -- but yes, it's also the mounting location for the clear sight camera.

So all defenders have the fin then? I have seen pictures of defenders in Europe without it, I think it looks better without.

I have never seen one without the fin. Clearsight fin is slightly larger, but it is on all defenders.

Oh, that is good to know.
I have a slight height issue in one garage I need to access, maybe it can be replaced with something flat.

How much more clearance do you need and what kind of opener do you have? Almost all openers can be very easily adjusted to travel a little higher.

Any Defender (90 or 110) trim level you have built in the NAS will have that fin. If you go to the configurator, it appears that all trims levels and body styles have it because it contains all of the nav, etc. antennas.

That could have been a ROW (Rest of the World) spec or one of the many myriad options that are no longer offered.

Thanks , but it is not a door issue, it is a low drainage pipe.
I can get under it, but only on one side, it is about 1.5 cm too low at the worst point.
