I emailed the company about the possibility of selling just a body and they would. They couldn't really grasp why I would want to fit the body over the "wrong" chassis and that it wouldn't fit over a 7 style chassis anyway. I think there is scope to build a more convincing car using much larger 16" wheels and the correct profile tyres. The wheel base and track of their car is similar to the original. You would have to radius the arches both front and rear and sit the body lower down over the chassis. You could also correct the seating position and build an authentic interior to match. Lots of work but I think it could be done.
