It seems that there are a fair number of body-less chassis out there that the owners would like to clothe with some form of coachwork. Since the chassis seems to be fairly easily restored and bodies not so easily - give some consideration to this suggestion.
If you study the lower photo carefully you'll see that the basis for the "Panzer training tank " is in fact a BMW DIXI chassis -scuttle unit that the various parts simply drop onto and are secured by some simple means.
One could easily do the same thing on an Austin Seven chassis and have something uniquely original with some basis of authenticity albeit a mirror image. Could be a fun project.

PS: this is not a April fool joke.
