Looks like an Estate version of the Skoda 720 .... but I thought that one was a one-off?

That is what it is, yes.  They made various different proposals.
And just to answer all the questions for your point - when does it date from?
Locked for you!

Well, the Skoda 720 dates from 1971 and the Estate version - I had to look it up - from 1972 ...

It must be wrong there then because it's not 1972!

Yes - he's really got the puzzle and the date is only a minor details so it wouldn't be fair to open it up.

There seem to be various different dates on different websites for this car!
I had it as 1969, but I've seen it as both 1982 and 1971 too.
So we'll call this one solved and maybe a Skoda expert will tell us which date is right?!

I don't know much about it apart from what's on Czech/Polish websites.
Maybe a Skoda expert can help, but I will see what I can find on the sources I used.

I believe it's a Giugario/Italdesign study from 1969.

Interesting.  I got the 1969 date from a Polish website so seems it might be right after all..

EDIT:
I've looked a bit further into it and this is the (Google translated!) blurb about this car:
