A rare vehicle and one of two known in the UK.
An unusual model based on the 145 estate car but with a factory option high roof and tall tailgate. Very large load capacity especially with rear seats folded down.
The car starts and runs and has what i believe to be the original B20 2000cc motor. Single stromberg carb. If you click on or copy and paste (into your browser) the link to photos you will see a video of it running.
Starts and idles ok, sounds quite smooth and quiet running.
It has a 4 speed manual gearbox with overdrive.
The clutch is not working which i believe is why they stopped using the car. It was parked up for some years unused.
