‘The Bude' is Heritage 1948’s unique take on the popular U.S style Land Rover Bikini Soft top Hood. Named after the idyllic surfing beach in Bude, Cornwall, our hoods have been developed to be the best on the market.
After many months and countless hours pattering and developing our new Series one 86/88" hoods we are now acepting pre orders with an antisipated fulfilment date of February 2024.
Bikini Hoods offer a stylish alternative to the full hood providing protection from the elements whilst offering an almost open top driving experience. The Bikini hood can be removed and put on in under a minute, a fuss free alternative so you can enjoy driving your Land Rover ‘Hood Free’ but still having the reassurance of adequate protection from showers and sun.
Unlike some of our competitors, all of our Land Rover hoods are handmade in our Somerset factory from superior quality ‘Moorland’ canvas. Our handmade hoods are inherently more accurate than machine produced counterparts allowing for an enhanced fit and exceptional quality control. Heritage 1948 has taken great care to ensure all our Land Rover hoods have an enhanced life span and are all finished with period correct solid brass fittings.
No expense is spared in our quest to produce the best hoods on the market.
