Rapport International offered a open-topped Range Rovers under the names Rapport Starlight and Rapport Huntsman. The latter was designed as a roofless hunting-vehicle, the Starlight was a luxury convertible of the two-door Range Rover. The Starlight conversion was similar to the conversions offered by competitors Wood & Pickett and Glenfrome. The conversion was based on a standard-length Range Rover two-door, with a conversion to softtop without a roll-bar. The soft-topstretched to about 10cm from the rear end of the Range Rover and was window-less from the doors to the rear which gave it a rather bulky appearance, something that was common on most convertible Range Rover conversion on offer.

The Rapport Starlight, in this case shown with the Droopsnoot conversion which wasn't standard.

The rather bulky nature of the roof was something that was seen on many Range Rover convertibles.

A better look at Rapport's droop-snoot conversion. This optional nose-job involved various parts of the Ford Granada mk2 including lights, grille and bumper. The bonnet itself was sloped to match the Granada front-end.

Here's a Rapport Starlight with standard Range Rover nose, but with fender flares and Wolfrace Turbo wheels.

Rapport International also offered this "Landaulet" based on the stretched  Range Rover Excelsior conversion.
