A real bodge-up from Allan L:E-type Jag, and Bond G on a Daimler SP250 base

This one should defeat those who only know Google!
The bodywork of this car was made from three entirely unrelated donor cars, one of which also provided the chassis and mechanical components.
These two photos are the best I can find but a keen eye should be able to identify all three.
Two points for the complete set!

Quite good.
Interior wasn't Jaguar, but as you can't really see it that well, I don't expect you to identify it.
I presume you mean the lower rear was SP250.
All that remains is for SeaLion to complete the task!

I got that Volvo feeling from that roof, but can't seem to find anything that fits (was thinking Amazon or PV, but it's not right). Is this a step in the right direction?

Not Volvo.
Not Reliant, although it is from a manufacturer later owned by them.

That's the one (except we call them "estate" in England)

Reviving this thread of nearly 7 years ago I have just been sent this photo of the car as a tidy-looking estate car in 1965.
Just thought I should record it here even if most of you don't remember this one.

It looks nice, in a twisted, weird sense of way
