Like the last one the base car is easy but who did the conversion and when?

Ford Anglia Touring Saloon by (I think) Friary. I THINK the similar Abbott conversion retained Anglia side glass. Launched just before the real estate, so 1961.

That's what it is yes, although I think it's a hatchback rather than a saloon, from the days before the expression was coined..

I believe this conversion uses the standard Anglia rear side glass too, but turned upside down.

It was unusual for Friary to do a conversion on a Ford at that time, as they more commonly made estate cars out of the big Vauxhalls.

Well done and 1 point to you.
