Amazingly enough it was his hobby. This is a bureau he made. It is an exact replica of an antique one that his parents owned. My dad has the original and this is in my care at the moment.

This is what the car started life as. A70 pickup. The lower half of the bodywork is identical. My uncle converted it to an ‘estate’ version.
This picture I found on Google after Paul and Dave’s comments.

Funny you should say that Moggy. This is another family car that dad said was a van conversion. Apparently done by my uncle who was a great carpenter. So it was the thing to do in those days? How interesting.

Incidentally Paul178, you were right with the colour of the Flying Standard 12. You can see it on the drive in the background.
Going back to the CommerHillmanHuskeyCob I haven’t found any pictures (yet) of one with twin windows on the sides, only full length ones so this could also have been a DIY job.
