Have you considered a County or Defender chassis?

Hello,

Here is a link to a Series body mounted on a Classic Range Rover chassis. It was a 5 year long build. Accessed 7th June 2014 from, Discovery Automotive. Home of Discovery Special Vehicles - Modified Land Rover Series Hybrid (http://www.discoveryauto.com.au/v8hybrid.php)

Kind Regards
Lionel

Yes - two significant problems are the difference in wheelbase (RR is 100", S3 88 or 109", and the need to meet the ADRs for the date of the chassis. Which means starting with a RR that was made within the S3 producytion period (provided it is intended for use on the road).


But it has been done a number of times.
