I have found they call it Mercedes Estate. http://website.webcenter.lycos.de/www.fomcc.de/fordsetzung/05_3/05_3_3.htm (scroll down) http://www.strichachtclub.de/c_download/c_download_prospekte.php http://www.mercedes500.de/berichte.html (scroll down, German page) -- Last edit: 2007-06-12 19:46:39

Looks like it belongs to a Consul Estate. Correct! Crayford Auto Developement Ltd. used Ford components of the Granada/ Consul series to built these bodies. -- Last edit: 2008-09-14 02:09:27
