PolarBlair Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Came across this randomly on FB: https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/680632000647921/?ref=category_feed Then noticed the rear double door! I'm probably late to the game but had no idea this was an option. Its got me thinking how useful it would be to have on my 130. There's no further information on the listing. Does anyone have any info on these? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 There was another one that appeared on here ~6 months ago, think it was an aftermarket conversion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So definitely an aftermarket option then. Does beg the question why this wasn't a factory option as it's clearly so useful! Maybe one day.... Right now my loadspace looks like this Work in progress. Had been putting off adding the switch panel and light until I was ready to DIY a headliner of some description but who knows when I'll get round to that.

steve b Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 That's interesting, I thought Falcon's was probably a one off but that looks the same and would appear to be in Oz? Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Apparently it's in Laos. Unless there's also a Vientiane in Oz. I really like the idea of being able to reclaim the wheel arch spaces with storage cubbys that could be accessible just by opening the rear double doors.

steve b Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Even more interesting then , there were a lot of Land Rovers sold to nearby countries for civil utilities/services and military use - it was covered in "The Last Overland" on TV recently but I can't recall which country it was....

Can confirm panoramic rear doors are useful At a guess if you really wanted to you could fabricate some rear doors, they're not complicated - just need a robust frame to hang them on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
