Think that's a Northern Developments hybrid. Got a feeling it might be with someone from Shires LRC now. If it is, I think it's not a Freelander body at all - just a fibreglass moulding of one.

You can pretty much take the body of anything and mount it on a coil sprung live axle rolling chassis. It would be easier to do this using a Discovery chassis as it shares the 100" wheelbase with the Freelander.

i was gonna say since when did the hippoo have a chassis - but re-reading it - i will be quiet.

wont be easy to fit a hippoo body onto a disco chassis tho:(
 
Actually it looks like THe Northern D-Lander is a 90" wheelbase.

MHM - Why not a Freelander body on a Disco chassis? Would a RR chassis be any easier?

hippoo is 100" so a Disco is best - but most landies are designed to bolt onto a chassis - the Hippoo is monocoque - aint it? so yu wud have to bolt it onto a chassis it werent designed fur, so no mounting points and yu might have to cut/weld/pack to fit - not impossible , just not that easy either, I wud imagine.

someone is bound to disagree tho :D

Oh, I didn;t say it would be easy!!!!!!!
Just I thought it would be easier on a vehicle withthe same wheelbase!

Saw a really nice looking coil sprung hybrid with a green freebie body on it a few weeks ago in Chipping Sodbury, S Gloucsetershire. Didn;t have time to stop and say hello, but I wish I had! Loads of questions to ask!

That's a fair comment - Easier to hide welds, mountings, constructed bolt points, etc if you don't have to muck about with the "body". Matching wheelbases would leave most of the bodging out of sight.
