I dont think Ford made the estates?, They were converted by company called Farnham so its poss they used fibreglass, I will ask a mate tomorrow as he is a bit of an expert on Farnham estates

Hi Mark,

 

Yep Abbotts of Farnham did the conversions on Consuls, Zephyrs and Zodiacs.

 

The tailgates were fibreglass as standard for the conversion.

 

The other difference will be the top door extensions on the rear doors.

 

Which one was it that you bought?  The black one with chequer plate interior boot floor?

the blue one with the floor change, i know it was built abbotts of farnham it has the standard rear window in a fibreglass tailgate, the mk2 estates had a simple side opening tailgate with a one off window in a steel tailgate ive had a couple of those but never had a mk3 in fact i dont remember seeing one on the road since the 70s when our next door neighbour had one
