I guess there are a number of factors to consider.
If the internals need to be stripped back extensively to fit the hybrid components, why pull apart a complete car?
If the hybrid system is to be tested alongside a non-hybrid equivalent, then a car of which only one was built is not suitable.
I'm personally not seeing the logic of taking on another chassis when they already have a chassis that they have extensive knowledge of, and other examples exist that they could acquire if more spares or comparison is needed (including one with HMS).
