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?

Classic body on a series chassis perhaps?

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
