Ask someone what they picture when they think of a classic Land Rover Defender and there's a reasonable chance they picture a soft top. Hood down, sun in, doors off, the whole thing. It's the version of the vehicle that exists in most people's imagination before they've ever owned one.
The reality of a soft top Defender is slightly more layered than that image suggests, and a conversion from hard top or station wagon to soft top, done properly, involves more thought than simply sourcing a hood and fitting it. The interior needs rethinking. The door situation needs addressing. And the result, if all of it is handled well, is one of the most characterful and enjoyable Defenders you can drive.
