Good effort from a little clue, Ferg!

Easy one.

Told you it was easy.

Hi Ferg, haven't seen you buzzin around recently Still got the GTM? - pretty car.

Here's one for you, maybe not quite in the spirit of this thread but nonetheless - what's the red car in the background?

Sorry I haven't had time to copy picture.

That looks like an Ashley fibreglass body, probably fitted to Ford 10hp mechanicals.

This car had 2 wipers on the rear screen.

Mini Clubman?

Although you said "had", suggesting it's no longer in production and you said "screen" not "screens".

Lancia Flaminia.

Yeah. Can't be parted I'm afraid. Love to build another car, but no room unless the Libra goes and it's the best car I've ever owned.

Not a Clubman - As you've suggested, the car I'm thinking of had a single rear screen and is no longer in production.

Good guess, but not the car I'm thinking of.

Another clue:
It's an estate sold in the early 1980s.

Toyota Camry

Can't suss it out, but while looking... didn't the (single wiper) Citroen CX estate look brilliantly quirky? Or am I just weird?

Not the car I'm thinking of, but you're on the right lines.

Nissan 280C then?

What car sold in the UK during the 80s was available in 4 different wheelbase lengths?

[Puddenchucker]

Land Rover Defender ?
