Base car is easy but who built this "woodie" estate?
One point for the correct answer.

The base car is a Standard 10 (I think)

So is the body builder Abbott?

It is a Standard Ten but the bodybuilder is not Abbott - less known...

That's correct although it should be Whiteacres.
Another point for you.

Are you sure that the base car is a Standard Ten?

Unless I'm mistaken, those sliding windows, and the slot between the doors for trafficators only appeared on early Standard Eights, I think just for the 1953 and 54 production years.

As far as I know, all Tens had wind-up windows with quarterlights. Just on the basis of the doors, this one looks more like an Eight than a Ten.

If I remember there was a discussion on that very point where I found the photo and I thought the outcome was that it was a Ten.
However I take your point Tom and will alter it to an Eight (Ten?).
Thanks for pointing it out.
