Dutton Sierra Pickup Shell - Free

[Stu_B]

I saved this from the scrap yard recently but it soon became apparent that I don't have room for it, nor time to do anything with it due to having too many projects. I got it for the chassis but the pick up version of the sierra is a rare old beast, despite being fugly and pretty undesirable so I took the shell too.
If you want the shell it's free to anyone who can collect it from Bridgwater, Somerset. If you want the chassis with it then make me an offer. All the good bits have been stripped as they were mk1 escort. It does have the front grill in the pick up bed. I'm afraid it won't even come with the rear axle.

what would the wheelbase of this fantastic creation be?
thanks

94.5" according to google but I haven't measured it myself. I think that's the same as a beetle. It still has the escort front crossmember bolted in.

Are the pictures not working?

Picture links now fixed. It's not pretty but you can't buy that 'dragged from a pond' patina

You could easily shorten the door section, or even chop of the rear and move the arch forward in the rear quarter. Would give it quite a cool bobbed look too. If I was doing anything with it I'd shorten the back end as those ridges at the back of the pick up bay are just weird.

Would of thought much simpler to lengthen wheel base and use lwb prop,much nicer to work in steel !

Any chance of a picture under the bonnet, just want to check the strut tops, inner wings and cross beam out?

Sparkyt, that's the drop head version of the blue one I've got, all the drawbacks of a convertible kit car but with a very high centre of gravity.

Good Afternoon, this looks like an interesting type of project.............any idea of how much you would want for the chassis to go with it ? Cheers Andy

This has now gone to members of the Dutton owners club. Hopefully it will make it back onto the road one day...
