Here we see a model with the 'De Luxe' bonnet: rounded edge and the tropical roof, which is nice in hot climates but doesn't really help aerodynamics ... but that is a word unknown for a Landy, anyhow!

The tropical roof is an amazing piece of kit. Not only does it keep the sun off the main roof panel, the air passing between the skins keeps the roof cool stopping the Land Rover getting too hot from the sun. Also, the vents cut into the roof face forwards so that when they are opened they scoop air from the space between the skins and direct it to the rear passengers giving them almost the same benefits as opening the bulkhead flaps does for the front seat occupants. I've driven a station wagon on a very hot day (for the UK, over 30DegC) and with all the windows and vents open its quite pleasant inside when moving. There's certainly no need for full air conditioning as there would be with a modern vehicle in the same conditions!
