Hi all,
First post - long time reader
Thinking about warmer and drier days, I was wondering what the legal position is for driving a Series Landrover (or Suzuki SJ) on the road with no doors.
I have looked around, and it appears that for the MOT, if the vehicle is designed with doors, then they have to be present and openable/closeable for the test. The fact that the doors are easily removable doesn't seem to come into it. As the roof can be easily removed and the windscreen is designed to be flipped down, does it seem illogical that the doors have to be in place? I have seen people driving around with no doors, roof off, and windscreen down in the summer, but have always wondered what the local constabulary would have to say about it.
Obviously, any mirrors on the doors would need to be moved so they were still present when the doors were removed.
Do any of you guys have a definitive answer on this?
Thanks in advance,
Tim
PS: I realise that an SJ with the windscreen down and no doors would look like a skip with a carry handle!
