Tiki Al:
was thinking ahead to the warm summer when i remove my roof, is it legal to drive around with the doors removed too  :?

Rich_P:
Depends largely on the vehicle itself.  What vehicle is it?

Tiki Al:
land rover 90 as in my sig pic

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
As far as I'm aware, you can only remove the door tops. You'll probably find that there is something in law to cover it from a safety aspect.
It probably goes on age as well, if you think of all the vintage WW2 jeeps there are on the road.

Yes, that's right.

The Land Rover 90 doesn't have removable doors, so you can't legally remove them and use the vehicle on the public rights of way as far as I'm aware.  But I think some MOD 90s have their doors removed don't they?  I do know that when it comes to the Series 3 Lightweight you can remove the doors if you fit some form of restraining chain across the gap that was once filled by the door.

I don't know what laws apply to the very early Land Rovers (Series 1) as they had removable doors too that would just pull off the hinges if you wanted.
