PhotoShop? Looks like one

Would be cool if someone made it though.

Yeah, it's a photoshop, someone on here made it back in the day if memory serves.

Looks amazing tho!

awww i was hoping someone was gonna say its real would be real cool if someone did do it for real

is actually quite cool but obviously more than 1 cars gone into it so how structurally sound it is, is questionable.

The best way would be to drop it onto a separate chassis, the fact that you are gonna be extending the length of the body anyway would probably give you a bit more chance of finding one the right kinda size. then mod the body to fit the chassis rather than the other way round so you shouldn't have to get it IVA'd

Like that Suzuki SJ with the shortened bready body on it?

Yeah like that. Wonder how much wider a reliant scimitar is compared to a polo, probably nowhere near but a rwd V6 polo ute would be pretty dam cool imo

Or even a TVR chassis??

anybody see that crewcab caddy pickup a while back on ebay I'm sure that was factory

If it was a full sized bed and a stretched cab, it's not factory, I knew the bloke who built it.

Saw that for sale on edition ages ago, the seller was trying to claim that it wouldn't need testing to go back on the road because a mate who was an mot tester had looked it over and said the welding would be good enough to pass an mot :lol:

Probably wouldn't actually, you can get away with doing stuff to a commercial that you can't with a car.

DVLA rules are pretty simple, if the monocoque chassis has been modified, then it needs type approval. In this case, it'd be the IVA.

Have had a few meetings at the SMMT recently, and one of them included discussion with VOSA and DfT about IVA and MOT for electric vehicles. Was quite surprised about how pro-DIY builds the VOSA guy was. Their main aims seemed to be keeping test costs (time/training/tools) down whilst still maintaining a fundamental level of safety checks.

100% would, also back then there wasn't a class for modified commercial so anything like that just had the registration taken by the dvla and the owner was sent on a never ending game of cat and mouse with different sections of the dvla because non of them actually knew who should be dealing with situations like that.
