Djetset 899
« on: August 23, 2018, 01:50:44 PM »
The base car is quite obvious, but for a point, please name the coach builder of this convertible, and the year in which it was converted.

It might not be quite as modern as you suspect!

No, I don't believe that the same company made any shooting breaks.

If it's not a modern Vicarage conversion, how about Harold Radford c1968?

A picture of the same car in the Jaguar Enthusiasts club magazine states it as Vicarage Converted?

No sorry, it's not a Vicarage conversion (their's were ugly, but not this ugly!).

There are quite a few pictures of this car on the 'Net, from a Surrey car show and the Goodwood Breakfast Club..
None of them, however, say who did the modification!

Is it a period modification, i.e. from the 1960s?

Hmm, frustrating hey! The conversion is later than the 1960s. Oh, and you'll be unsurprised to learn that the coach builder is quite obscure  ;)

I belief that this is: Daimler V8 Convertible Conversion by Pete Edgeler (HLH111D) 2015?

The car is a Daimler V8, but not converted by Peter Edgeler, and made into a convertible earlier than 2015.
