Smile I noticed that the other day, it's quite a neat vehicle although I prefer the shape of the original saloon tbh.

I think that these were coachbuilt onto the chassis assembly that was a basis for the PV vans and pickups. So beyond the bulkhead, the bodywork is not the same as the saloon. Possibly a leaf spring rear setup as well, rather than the coil sprung swinging axle of the saloon. Nevertheless a desirable and attractive find.
