A real bodge-up from Allan L:E-type Jag, and Bond G on a Daimler SP250 base

This one should defeat those who only know Google!
The bodywork of this car was made from three entirely unrelated donor cars, one of which also provided the chassis and mechanical components.
These two photos are the best I can find but a keen eye should be able to identify all three.
Two points for the complete set!

29 viewings and no guesses - have we no quality rookies these days?

Let's see what our experts can make of it

Ok, front and interior from a Jaguar e-type , rear from a Daimler SP250...hard to find what's in between.....

Quite good.
Interior wasn't Jaguar, but as you can't really see it that well, I don't expect you to identify it.
I presume you mean the lower rear was SP250.
All that remains is for SeaLion to complete the task!

Yes, the fins are from a Daimler, looking for the top...english estate wagon?

That's a clue, you dozy lot!!!!!!

Sorry, I do not know the answer.

I got that Volvo feeling from that roof, but can't seem to find anything that fits (was thinking Amazon or PV, but it's not right). Is this a step in the right direction?

Reliant Regal top part of the rear?

Allan L · December 05, 2007, 03:01:28 AM

Not Volvo.
Not Reliant, although it is from a manufacturer later owned by them.

SeaLion · December 05, 2007, 05:22:36 AM

OK. The roof is from the Bond Mk.G Tourer.

That's the one (except we call them "estate" in England)
I knew you'd know!

And this is what I made it into:

Reviving this thread of nearly 7 years ago I have just been sent this photo of the car as a tidy-looking estate car in 1965.
Just thought I should record it here even if most of you don't remember this one.

It looks nice, in a twisted, weird sense of way
