So, is the body from an original D-Type?
I'm looking for a donor to make this a possibility and would prefer tax-exempt so GT6 would be preferred. Using 1296cc or even 1500 would be a bit understated! But people are asking silly money for GT6s full of tin-worm.
Help!

Hi Cemlyn
The A352 Wheel base is 83" but we can stretch the body by adding a section to the mould to around 91". Measurement to inside lip of wheel aches is 63" rear and 62" front.
This picture shows the car on standard Spitfire wheels, you can see the wheel to arch gap is fairly large.
But with the TR6 wheels fitted, much more pleasing.
The D Type shell on ebay is 7" longer in the wheelbase and 4" wider overall.
