Brooklin in their Lansdowne range had planned an Austin A-95 estate which would not have been hard to do since much is the same a their A-105 Westminster saloon.   I waited for them to launch the estate but it looked like it would never happen so I built one myself from a saloon.   I left the roof rack off since it was optional but was able to salvage the  silver side decal and re-apply.

Very nicely done John. I am sorry that Lansdowne missed out on this one. There is a Westminster sedan locally, now stored until April.

I was very disappointed when I learned that Lansdowne was no longer going to produce this lovely wagon.
