Only THREE know on the register, I don't think many more than that existed let alone still exist. One was on Ebay, so they do pop up. Best of luck with the hunt, be interesting to see if you find one.

I'm building one right now! 1960's SWB LandRover that's been in the family for years, already running a five speed box and 200tdi engine. The LandRover needed a new bulkhead and frt doors and whilst looking around for them I stumbled upon an advert for a rather tired looking Eagle RV, cortina based but no running gear. I'm currently modifying my chassis to accept the Eagle chassis on top as a subframe to support the body. Hopefully the body will be on within a fortnight and then it's onto wiring and making a pedal box to keep the LandRover servo and clutch master cylinder. Once it's up and driveable I'll spray it and set about making a rag top for it. Any ideas if patterns are available for soft tops?

We will be very interested in seeing any photos of this conversion, Great stuff so far.

I'm keeping a build diary of photos, I'll get them on here once I make some more progress - unfortunately the weather this week has stopped me getting anything done....

The story so far.... The subframe is on and the body fits! Downside - the engine and box are too far forwards , so I'm fabricating new engine and gearbox mounts to move it back 180mm, this will will put the gear lever in the right place and give me enough space to mount the radiator, Intercooler and fans in front of the engine..unfortunately it means I've now got to chop the rear propshaft lenghthen the front one, and shorten the exhaust.

I've got one! Taxed, MOT'd and running a dream. I picked it up in November 2018 and done a fair bit to get it on the road. Just a few, more cosmetic things to do to make it nice now.

Great to see it running and driving, good sequence, get it built then mess with it. so many do it the other way around and never get it on the road.
I know, I know, Mine has been in the 'shed' for years and years but I can given an hours work, drive it as everything vital works. I just love tinkering.
