It's been a while since I last saw one of these handy little estate cars. Although I think "almost finished" is perhaps slightly optimistic, it's in use and shouldn't be a major job to get it completed.

And on a similar theme, a presentable 100E Squire (non-woody type).

A Ford Squire was the first car owned by a friend of my father's.
It was a green example with the registration number DEY 747.

The 100e shooting brake Escort was my dad's family car in the mid 1960's - awful saggy seats and really slow. It was in a drab green called Lichen Green and it looked as awful as it sounded. The engine alawys made a mournful droning sound not like my best friends dad's Morris Minor of the same age

Top speed on the newly opened M1 was just under 50mph and if it was raiining the vac operated wipers actually stopped until throttled back.

In 1967 he replaced it with a 1964 DKW F12 3 cylinder two stroke which was really modern, fast and luxurious!
