This can't be original, can it?

Kin ell that's nice for the money

Looks damn good! think rivet counters may nit pic, but looks good value from the pics

I've had another look at the eBay posting and those doors aren't series I.

So i'm guessing series front wings and bonnet and grill. Series door tops. and defender everything else. Wonder what the chassis is.

Later door handles?
It's definitely a leafer chassis, but without much originality I reckon it's a bit on the pricey side.

Iv'e seen that before. Got some pic's somewhere.

Here you go. I did think I might build one myself.

well we are all different but I think the king cab s1 looks silly, have to say that one in egham looks good, suspiciously cheap though, if I had a spare £4k I would be beating a path to the guys door as its about half an hour away

Rear doors look like S1 Stationnwagon doors to me. Looks well done but I am sure that it would have been better leaving it as what ever it was before the bastardisation.

I like it.

yes I like it too, If I ever built one I would use a series chassis with a series Salisbury rear axle with 3:54 gears, TDI and LT77s box, Lt230 with 2/4 wheel drive convertion. PAS conversion and FC rims. I would move the rear axle back a few inches to, otherwise just like the one in the pic's.

saw a pic from a show on the s1 site of a widened swb s1 which looked pretty cool, you couldn't see from the pic how it had been done - longer (or wider depending on your view) crossmembers I guess - but 3 abreast must have been less of a squeeze

Its a bitsa dont see where the 13K comes from , the beige one is GVFM tho.

Sweet, likey. I'll take two!

Thats a good idea, make it wider to just cover the FC rims without spats.

Looks nice

You can have mine. Sorry but I'm in the 'no likey' camp - but I would have the one in Egham.
