I've got a sound '72 Range Rover rolling chassis with rotten body sitting in the drive so I'm looking for inspiration for a rebody. This has caught my eye www.autoreflex.com/rolls-royce-le-4x4--ACT644.htmMaybe not such a silly idea as even our local scrap year (F W McGuinesses, Longport, Stoke-on-Trent) had a Silver Shadow in the general yard last year.

is the RR chassis long enough for a roller shell? Rolls is a few inches longer in wheelbase but I was thinking of pick-up so would just use front end / cab section anyway. Biggest problem would be the grill as they are the most valuable part of an old Roller so maybe a Bentley T1 might be better choice. ;D Paul H

It's the attention to detail like the RR grille and the mascot that will give the car the shock value you so desire! Tax exempt too...... my good man!

Paul H Am I the only one going to say no don't do it? 2 door Range Rovers are getting too rare now. If you really feel the need just chop up a 4 door one Fix up the 2 door.
