Hi all, I am looking for any information out there about a wooden panelled traveler
I believe that this picture was taken at a show when the car was in its prime.
does anyone have any more information on this car or the company who carried out the conversion as I believe this could have been the test bed vehicle.
Hopefully she will show again:

it might have looked ghastly up until recently but looking at the photos on the other thread, Igor is well on the road to less ghastlyness. Keep up the good work Ash.

Don't have time to read resto threads! So - if it's in there - I won't have seen it. I comment on what is shown to me - sorry - I'm not a mind reader!!!!!!

With the wooden rear panels it looks like the car was built along the lines of the American "woodies" of the '50's and early '60's. What kind of wood are you planning?

The panels will be going back to the metal version once restored, the "sweedish sauna" look isnt one for me

Agreed, it'll certainly be easier to maintain
