does anybody know if the pictured body is a reproduction or a NOS sylva one?

Interesting use of a photo of my car back in 2007 at the Ring

I actually visited this guy earlier in the year.

It's not a Phoenix body that I'm familiar with, and looks more like a Fury.

The MacGregor chassis being used is a very nice piece of engineering. It's laser cut and put together on a jig that's accurate to 0.1 mm.

The body is a Clubman MkIV, the back of which became the Fury. Makes you realise how long these book based 7s are when you see the body made for a Striker fitted to one.
