bigstraight6 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 21 hours ago, barrett said: Off the road for about 8 years I think, but I have never seen it in use in all the time I've lived here - it only appeared once recently, dragged out of the garage when they were having some work done on the house. It's possible the owners haven't lived here for that long, but even when it was 'on the road' I never saw it out, and I think I would have done if it was being used. Here's my pic showing the whole reg if you want to look it up. iirc this thing is a relatively recent confection by a private owner, not a period conversion. I think the roof is Mk1 Cortina but I could be wrong. The biggest giveaway is the shape of the boot lid and rear window. If that was a '60s job the boot would be much cruder, and certainly wouldn't go down into the rear panel under the boot shut of the saloon (difficult to explain, but if you look at the 'official' estates they use a modified standard bootlid with no extra cutting to the shell) and also it's highly unlikely the rear window glass would be curved if this was a '60s conversion. There was some info floating about the web on this car years ago (I have some pictures saved of it) but I can't seem to find it anymore annoyingly. The blue example is certainly a home brewed concoction with Cortina MK1 tin, I seem to recall reading an article about the other official conversion years ago and that there were just 2 built both for the Kenyan Police.

MY previously-spotted used-to-live-around-the-corner Estelle is now for sale on marketplace!!! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/435285711748028/ Up for a not unreasonable £2k, but I do wonder what I could have got it for last year if I'd left a note on it, as planned (assuming it's changed hands since then). Also, one owner and 30k! I wish I had some money because it looks great. It's also exactly one year younger than I am. Made contact with the seller and started playing around with Shipley quotes . Even asked the Mrs if she fancied a weekend in Brighton Please somebody buy this before I do something silly . I don't even have time to work on the current needy fleet Yoss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about £2600. Decent ones are starting to go up now though prices still seem to be a bit all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even rough ones are in regularly in four figures. Not as rough as that one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
