This was one of the many options to put a modern body an ancient Austin or Ford (8 hp or 10 hp) bases, sometimes with a newly developed chassis as well, sometimes with sporty aspirations in mind, sometimes less so like this production by Conversion Car Bodies Ltd., Naco Works, Lindsey Street, Epping, Essex, UK, who called themselves 'The 'Four Seater' Specialist' offering spacious estate and confortable saloon bodies easily fitted to Ford running gear (a lower radiator is the only modification needed). Plus flexible passengers who had to get out at steep hills of course...
