...I think I might look at a 4 door car and cut a Webasto style roof in. Probably quite a good idea I would think, and the Visa solution looks a good one. It's got a central roll bar (Targa style) and fairly chunky cant rails if that's what they're called - ie box section type structure above the doors. Perhaps worth doing a layout sketch and asking your friendly MOT man if he'd be prepared to pass such a saloon car once modified and suitably strengthened. If I was doing it I'd probably take a look at the hood on things like 2 door Mk1 Freelanders or Suzuki SJ / Vitara to see if there's anything which could donate its complete hood assembly onto a saloon car of appropriate size. A three box saloon would be a good candidate as the hood mechanism can be hidden in the boot space. I'm thinking: Senator A Triumph 2000 Rover P6 etc. Audi 80/100 ie fairly substantial full 4 door / 4 seat P6 might be a good candidate as they're a skeleton / semi-spaceframe construction I think, with a bolt-in roof panel. A good P6 will blow your budget though...! |

Maybe look at a boat hood too. ...Or maybe that's what that was:  Ugh.... |

Ooh i had a blue one of those when i was 17, the rear seat back will fold flat backwards and if you pull the front seats all the way forwards they will also go down flat and it makes a double bed inside, ideal for a 17 year old, a car with a large opening roof and bed in it, i spent a good summer in that car parked in various fields with the companionship of a couple of girls and the starry sky.  |

I'm afraid if you had two young kids (1x 5 year old and 1x 2 year old) with all the child seats and having to do the multitude of straps up you woulnt be asking that question lol. I hve a bad ba whih means leaning in whilst arrying my youngest into the back is prtty much impossible for me  . Thought about a SWB Frontera as they are a bit taller and I would have to lean less getting them in, but still not sure. Currently pondering about the idea of maybe a LWB Vitara and putting a PlexiGlass roof in. Basically a sheet of plexiglassthat i can remove when required? quick question. WHY??? Two doors look better and will be so much easier to get in your budget? |
