I'll try to remember to dig out the paperwork, and look it up.

I've also got a '49 Land Rover with NFU (much modified). The standard 
fittings for a '49 land rover did not include door-tops or 
canvas-/hard-top of any variety, so I don't see how that can be excluded :-)

If there is an exclusion for cars that are unlocked, I'll phone them and 
ask if it also exclude cars that were not fitted with locks by the 
manufacturer.... ;-)
