Im thinking of buying a series 2 land rover to use the chassis with a triumph spitfire body would this be possible? because you lot know alot about land rover

many thanks

p.s not being nasty or nought but it might save a land rover from going to a scrap yard

A spitfire body on a land rover chassis.

Hmm. Interesting idea..you will have enough chassis showing to hang your washing on thus saving you buying a tumbledryer.

What running gear? the spitfire suspension and chassis is very different from the land rover. You might be better off rebuilding the landy as a landy or getting a reconditioned spitfire chassis.

I have got two classic cars already and in winter you cant use them because of the grit on the road.i have seen a ford fiesta on a 4x4 just thinking a 4x4 to use all year round and something different because they all cant be the same

many thanks

yu cudda bought either an MGB or an e-type on a disco chassis last week.

 

[storm99]

It will look and handle like a dogs dinner.

Wasn't there some catastrophe on ebay recently that was a similar idea to this?

 

[fanatic]

It will be fine- can you post conversion pics

 

[storm99]

Here you go..impressive, right?

Nothing wrong with doing something different
I seen an old merc on a 4x4 chassis
A mk1 fiesta in a cut down 4x4
I was thinking about a mk1 escort on a cut down chassis also thought about fitting 4x4 running gear to a mk1 mr2
Everybody has there own idea of what looks good or what is a good idea
I say good luck to you
Might be better off on a different forum as they are all a little landy purist in here lol
But if you do stick around pics are best
Good luck

Don't forget that any of them will need an IVA test.
