Thread: Body swap possibilities?

There’s an LR mechanic/spare parts bloke in Wentworthville from whom I used to buy parts. He had an E-Type Jag mounted on RRC running gear.

Now that is a great idea..
Will try to find this guy.
If you have a name or number I'll track him down and give him a call.
Thanks

There were these. I looked into this for an old RRC I had, The kit was designed for them but a D1 ain't much different. The single cab was just one variant.

Then in 2005 there was a TV show where Mark Evans put a Series body on one as well. Sure, not a "muscle car", but a good project nonetheless if you had a rusty chassis Series hanging around. I think I've still got it somewhere. A 4x4 Is Born

'Course, E Types are cheap.....

This is old, but maybe you could follow it up if interested.

Not really what the OP wants but out of interest here is a body swap onto i think a landcruiser chassis (no idea who owner is) ...

Bill Larman pushed the body off a RRC and bolted this on.

Another local bloke mounted a Dodge body on a Defender and used Jeep Running gear

Anything is possible .. you just have to work within the National code ofd practice , VSB14 , know the rules and work with a registration authority engineer.

All good suggestions..
There was the old Thomas crown affair film..
And had a 67 mustang convert..
