Classic 1972 RRC for sale...what have they done?!

v8250 · Mar 25, 2023

Browsing eBay and came across this 1972 RRC. All's looking fine until the side view photograph...really, what on earth have they done? What chassis have they used to make such a fundamental cock-up?

Whatever it is they've well and truly cocked up and it's not worth £36k

I'm surprised it has ever had an MOT.

It could be a wide angle shot or even lifted?

Thinking logically, it would cost a fortune to fit the wrong chassis and the headache it would cause... But you never know

Cockups don't usually cost much

Is it a later body on an early chassis?

don’t you mean an early body on a later chassis???
(Thinking though…..you can put that 2 door shell onto a disco chassis and not make it look that bad)

What a ghastly bodge up

Irrespective of the chassis/body mismatch, it certainly looks like a lift job. Any amount of axle travel will see the body & tyres making contact.

Just needs a little cut-insert-shut work on the chassis and prop-shafts is all.

It just needs some sm@ller tyres hes obviously been @ disco owner
