Djetset 858
« on: November 15, 2017, 07:16:43 AM »
The base car is easy, so no points for identifying that, but one point for correctly identifying the name of the company that undertook this estate conversion.

No, it's not an obvious one I'm afraid!

Was it The Aesthete Constructors Ltd? I may be wrong about this.

It seems that in 1965 or so there was a corner of coachworks/special building  that made estate car conversions of sportscars.
I had the Daimler SP250 equivalent which was on AP a while ago, but have no idea who did it:

Here's another (front) view of this mystery Austin-Healey, which might help to solve the puzzle.

Well spotted Wendax!  I did read that (mercifully) this Austin-Healey was returned to its original format, which is a relief for us all  :)
