Dutton Bodywork replacement??
Well ive done some research and this is the only other place i can try next....
Does anyone know if there is a body that will fit the Dutton to replace it ugliness?
I was thinking a fury or something similar, welll, anything really as long as it doesnt look as ugly as it does.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Dutton did make several different cars, perhaps you should say which is the one you have.

I'd be suprised if there's anything out there that is a straight fit to the dutton chassis with no mods.
Why not get hold of something you like the look of and make it fit?

Don't know of anything off the shelf, but these have come up before.
This used to be a Dutton

On the dutton forums there is/was a guy remodeling his Dutton pretty extensively.

I am also looking for some different bodywork for the dutton and i also came across this one and i also like the look of it.
It seems he used the scuttle and a part of the bonnet.
I will have a closer look and see how much work this will be to make, i think it's going to be a lot off hours.

Isnt this normally done by keeping the VIN plate and throwing the rest away?

Well,
Its an S3 Phaeton Mr Henderson. Sorry, i didnt spot your question before.
I bought it today, so ive got a bit of work to do before the body scenario. Ive managed to get someone interested in making a body for around £600 so
far!
May be worth looking at a modified fury body if anyone has a spare i can modify?
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

How about a Legerra shell ?, the chassis are very similar so should not be too hard to fit
