Anyone here know of a 2-door Softdash?

Hi!

Did anyone ever see a 2-door conversion of a Softdash? I'm curently building one and I wonder if it will be the first and only 2-door Softie. LR never bothered making them.

Pics are here between the German text :-)

Cheers

In answer to your question – I haven’t got a clue!  However looked at your link and I think is superb, certainly dedicated.

Well done mate.

last 2 doors weer the CSK special editions - last 'official' 2 doors were 1984/5 ..when you consider the soft dash's were 1994/5 then you realise why Land rover didnt produce any!
are you  going the whole hog and fitting EAS? or keeping with springs?

2-door were produced until April 94, when the harddash was replaced. They have not been in the British showrooms, but France and Spain, e.g., have lots of them.

Currently I'm not thinking about converting to EAS. The original Softdash was a low spec V8 not having it, so I don't think I'm going to put it in despite loving it in my Softdash LSE (the white one).

PS: The bad thing about my question is that no one can say there is no other, only lots of people can say they don't know any...

well i've seen one

was on french plates though and a 300tdi

[ariane44]

Interesting! Can you remember where and when? Did you get a chance to talk to the driver about his conversion?

Curious

it was done near the south coast (may have been at slindon?)

didnt get chance to chat unfortunatly but didnt look like a conversion rather an out of the box job but on foriegn plates so coulnt age it. it did have the newer style bumpers and small fillercap door

I think the 2 door was availalble on the continent right up untill the end of production which would explain it.

[ariane44]

High filler box was standard after 92, new bumpers (wraparound edges or Brooklands body kit?) a regular option.

Did you see the actual dash? How did you determine its a 300TDI and no 200TDI?

2-door Softies definitively never came out of Solihull. 92/93 200-TDI harddash 2-door on the other hand are pretty common in F and E.

Fantastic pictures of a job well done.
These pictures will be very interesting to anyone who fancies a rebuild of a RRC.

The only problem I can see is that you've put the steerring wheel on the wrong side!

Well done,
Cheers.
