insurance fun with 'modified' series 3 - help!

Hiya

I'm having a bit of an issue with the insurance on my s3 109. It's got rear folding seats, and full windows - see pic

the insurance company is saying that I need to give them the dates of the modifications - and whether it was professionally done

the seats are stock landrover - could they have been factory fitted? Were rear seats an option on a hard top in 1976?!

also is the hard top with windows a home made conversion, or was this available at any point?

any help gratefully appreciated!



cheers

Just tell them you swapped the sides for one from a SV, local yards got an old 110 SV which has a back like that straight from LR

If the seats are LR originals you've got a 50/50 chance tell them its how it came and was a factory standard option

Lancaster are completely OK with it (Delta cherished car policy), but Chaucer (through swinton) have now said they won't cover it due to the modifications - after I paid, and I clearly stated it was a now 3 door station wagon!

Looks like a big hassle now to get my money back

sorted, cost me a bit because of cancelling the one policy and taking out another, but I got them to waive some of the fees - including the big £50 cancellation fee.

thanks for the advice
