Morning, I'm visiting from Defender 2. Looking for a Freelander 1 (or 2) commercial for business use. It's to act as a back up to the Def 110 just in case of unavailability. If anyone has a F1 they're thinking of selling I'd appreciate a shout.

The Freelander 1 3 Door commercial was very simply a standard car with rear seats removed and hard board put on the floor, a full height mesh barrier behind the front seats (an original dog guard bolted in would suffice) and no glass in the rear quarter and side windows. If you cant find a genuine commercial just buy a 3 door, remove the seats which is easy and put some 8mm ply down.

Same kind of goes for the FL2 commercial.

not sure what if any tax implications there are by removing seats, but would have to modify the V5 to reflect the change.

I think on the FL2 you could leave the seats in and just cover with shaped Marine Ply (maybe over a plastic membrane) to get a usable commercial type adaptation. Protect the door cards or take them off to bring it back to a 5 seater at some future date.
However you deal it the headlining would get some hammer if no care taken though. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Needs to be a commercial for insurance reasons

Evening Mr P

and to you DM. Disco3

I've just converted my commercial to 5 seats so have the full set up if you need to convert one to a commercial..

Hi, just spotted your reply but it's the F1 I'm after.

Just a bump, still looking for a Freelander 1 commercial... Disco3

can you not get a standard 3 door or 5 door and remove the rear seats, cut some ply to fit the floor, limo tint the windows etc ?
then apply to VOSA to have it registered as a commercial?

might be easier than trying to source a factory one

I just gone onto autotader and ebay and searched for freelander commercial plenty of FL1s came up and even some FL2s. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

Ebay and Gumtree have quite a few. Had hoped to pick up one with a bit of forum history before handing over to DM.
Currently looking at one in Norwich and another in York. Will take the plunge shortly. Disco3

Closest one on eBay was 115 miles away

can't help with the car but I have a soft top roof for a commercial going cheap  Common sense isn't very common.

Might be asking too much for you to collect a car as well on the way north... Disco3

if you hire a car transporter that will take two cars and a caravan then I could drive that.  Common sense isn't very common.
