The estates were custom built by Abbot (E D Abbott Limited) based in Farnham rather than Fareham. Yes they are quite rare. Capriaddict had one he was intending to restore but I think he's sold it on now.

 

Abbott also did the Zodiac and Zephyr conversions

[Smudger105e]

In the early '60s, Farnham also made some Anglia Estates before Ford produced them, looked like the saloon, but had like a hatch back from the rear of the roof to the edge of the bootlid if I remember correctly.

 

Found some pics...

Who, Abbott? No, folded in the early 70's when the demand for custom coachbuilders died off.
