And to clarify what 'commercially available' means within the rules, this is;
There are obviously other times when commercially available applies to our section and these mainly relate to cells/motors etc. but these are dealt with under the 'Electric Board' rules.
The bodyshell we're currently using has been temporarily adopted from a.n.other car to allow testing to progress, so therefore has been previously available commercially at some point in the past. In fact this manufacturer has had previous National success (see The Mighty Chris Doughty!!) without any problems in this area.

I think you're reading the bodyshell rule wrongly - correct me if I'm wrong but that particular 'rule' mentions only commercially available bodyshells and is a statement of fact - that yes, you MAY use any commercially available bodyshell.
It mentions nothing about you MUST, or ONLY etc. This rule is either intended as the way I've just put it (to inform) or horribly worded and therefore invalid.
I'll run a coke bottle at the next round to prove the point
