Box saloon - Djackson - 20-12-2020 Hi Looking for a Box saloon body in reasonable conditions. Maybe someone has a disregarded body around they need to clear up . Hi RE: Box saloon - Dave Wortley - 21-12-2020 No responses yet. You may get a better response if you gave everyone more details.

RE: Box saloon - Chris KC - 21-12-2020 Yes 1st step is to ID which bodies your chassis would be compatible with - principally LWB or SWB. I would suggest keeping an eye on eBay as they come up from time to time in restorable condition. Usually when someone has ripped an original saloon body off to build a 'special'. RE: Box saloon - Martin Prior - 21-12-2020 Can I suggest that you see if there's anyone out there with a complete saloon that they're planning to dismantle in order to build a special? If you can agree a PX for the entire vehicle against your rolling chassis, it keeps another car intact and gives the special builder less to do.
