The panels are available solid or with a rear widow, which is the same unit used in a Defender 90 station wagon.The roof panel is then lifted on and bolted to the back panel as well as bonded to the original roof metal at the front. Used Land Rover Discoverys don’t enjoy the same cult status as the iconic Defender, so when the rot sets in, values hit the floor.That means MOT failures can change hands for giveaway sums of as little as £500, even when the engine, transmission and running gear are still in fine fettle.For those with a little mechanical nous, this presents a potential off-road bargain. Interestingly, the truck pictured above is still running fully functioning air bags.Getting the main conversion work done should take a couple of mechanically minded individuals about two days. The chop job leaves most of the vehicle’s structural members in place, so the cabin should be just as tough as it was before. It’s a notoriously tricky repair with the body in-situ and therefore the cost to have it done is usually more than the vehicle is worth.All 200-, 300-TDI and TD5 Discovery models share this same ladder-type chassis, so any vehicle built between 1989 and 2004 is ripe for conversion. However, the removal of the heavy rear body and interior means it can cope with a good bit more than that.Apparently it is possible to get the trucks re-registered as commercial vehicles, but this does require calling the DVLA out to inspect it.

The 200- and 300TDI engines are both fairly hardy and although there have been some horror stories with the TD5, well-maintained examples generally last well.Rear air suspension on the TD5 can also give trouble, but it’s simple enough to replace with coils.
