I've never carried a body, but I did drive a kit car chassis from Kent to Milton Keynes (a hundred miled or so) in my last 9-3. http://www.stamp.plus.com/temp/FuryChassisArrival.JPG Couldn't tell it was up there really. I did get a few funny looks from the other drivers on the M25 though. Cheers, Colin.
