Never got an answer to whether or not you can still get this version:

If I remember correctly, way back when it was released on last gen (before the topless version was added to the SSA site), you would randomly get either the enclosed roof, or this canopy one with open sides.

 

However, anytime I've tried to buy one like this on current gen, it always gives me the enclosed one.

In creator, you can also spawn one with the cage, but no actual roof. Was this ever a (random) purchasable version?

They've all certainly appeared in freeroam at one point or another, but all I can gather seems to suggest most "alternate" roof options were birthed via save editing. I've always been perfectly happy with the Kalahari's default roof, myself, but it is quite strange how Rockstar has all these alternate variations that aren't available for players to use. I don't know the backend of it, but surely it couldn't be too hard to just set them up as extra "roof" options in LSC.

 

Here's what the "rollbar" variant of the Kalahari looks like, for people who are curious. Not my picture, don't worry.

You know, I never did understand why the Kalahari was sold in the United States under the Canis brand. They share no blood or bone, and I think this little French, compact, plastic-bodied, all-wheel drive SUV has more in common with Germany's BF military buggies than anything America ever produced, but I'm not too privy to all the grey market imports and strange backroom deals that went on in the late sixties. It's an under-appreciated little car, and more than a little bit fun to bounce around in when cruising down the beaches around Paleto Bay and Chumash. A riot on roads, too, though with the state of perpetual emergency in Los Santos these days, it doesn't offer too much in the way of fight or flight.

 

Nobody has ever really told me it's a good-looking little car, and people seem confused when they see it. Especially those big canvas windows! Man, do they make a racket at thirty MPH. Atleast, I think it's thirty. The speedometer's in kilometers. But I think they're missing the point, and maybe overlooking the small amount of charm the Kalahari does have. It's a fun, easy-to-live-with car, and once you get over the "I SAW THE WHOLE CRIME" headlamps, it's kinda cute.

 

So, here's mine. It's a 1983 Euro-spec, don't be fooled by the hood. The last owner replaced it with one off a front-wheel drive model, probably after they used it. Looked like the car had gone up and down Chiliad. Had it painted in a... non-original color, but I think that's alright. It's my little car.

More images in the spoiler below, as always. Also, apologies for the double-post, but since this is more dedicated to the images, I didn't want to attach a reply (and somebody else's image) to this post. Hope that's OK!

Really appreciate you taking the time to find these, the closest ones were the bottom two but they had too much green in them. I may just settle on an in game yellow, thank you for the help tho!

Ah shame, this is all I had from that time. Maybe try one of these Giallo Modena hex from the Kustom crew colors request. It might be close enough.

The Kalahari for sale in Simeon's showroom has chrome stock wheels on it. My personal one has painted stock wheels, along with multiple I see in this thread with white wheels. So is the Simeon version with chrome wheels unique or was there some other way of getting them I'm forgetting?
