Interesting, when I bought my Series 1 109 pickup I was not sure the rear body could be saved. I have a 109 HiCap rear body so as a contingency I did think of using that or turn it into a flat bed pick up.
However I think I’ll be able to save the original rear body but I do think a HiCap rear body on a Series 1 LWB would look quite cool and be practical as well. |

That's interesting - you could try asking on the Series One club forum - http://www.lrsoc.com/forum/index.php?action=forum Euro-Leafing to infinity and beyond.....

I wonder if a Hicap body would be excessively wide on a Series One, given that it is fairly wide on a Hicap and the One is significantly narrower. On the other hand, it might work rather well. It would be interesting to see, but given the loopy values of Series Ones nowadays I suspect we're less likely to see it than ever before.

To be honest blackwolf it didn’t look that bad on the back of the S1, it stuck out a bit but no more than you usually see on Aussie tray backs and I quite like them as a useful tool. I still have an urge to put the HiCap body on it but the vehicle has very original paint and I think the back body will go again with some new rear quarter panels and welding where the body has fractured.

Hi,one question.
Which ferry did you use since I see a DFDS ferry in background? Maybe it is an old picture taken before they closed the gothenburg ferry or Esbjerg ferry. Had an idea to go to UK with the disco och oneten if it had not been for covid but connections to scandinavia are all closed or do anyone out there got a tip how to go over to/from UK from Sweden? Thanks Johnny |

I Used the Harwich to Esbjerg ferry but that was before the route was stopped. About 2 months ago I did a return drive to Landskrona and the cheapest way was to go Dover-Calais then drive to the Puttgarden ferry. Total round trip was just under 2000 miles.
