I will use a man with a red flag, a reversing camera, and an extra mirror. How do can drivers manage?Sure is distinctive , and no doubt unique too . Rear three quarter vision from the drivers seat could be a challenge though .

That was precisely the love child I was thinking of too ! Cremlin maybe ??And the 'coupling' of a C£ Corvette and a AMC Gremlin, results 9 moths later in a Gremette or a Corlin - or perhaps in more understandable parlance and irrespectively - a bucket of crap

There is one of these in the UK at the moment -Carrot Town Garage had it on their stand at Speedfest last weekend (for sale). I think it will make an appearance at the Nationals next weekend.
It’s not exactly the same as the one pictured above, but has a slightly slicker rear end. I won’t post the pic I took - I don’t want to spoil the anticipation!

Thats a Station Wagon rather than a Van though it was available without side windows.
I have seen it but it was 10 months ago so i dont remember too much detail other than its unrestored.
The story goes that the original was built for a drummer who wanted a Vette he could carry his drums in.
Have a look inside because i have a feeling that this one has a surprise inside (could be wrong).

Love em or loathe them...these cars are the ones that draw attention and get talked about long after the event.
Aston Martin have been at it too with a station wagon..... I saw one of these recently, the snappily named Aston Martin "Vanquish Zogato Shooting Brake". Very rare only 99 produced. So much more practical for a run to the 'tip.

The Corvette Sport Wagon was mainly produced by Ecklers, ACI and Greenwood and sold as add on Kits, I think Greenwood actually produced / built a widebody turbo version

David Brown commissioned his own DB5 for his Polo Gear and his Dog - then a few have been made, but not many

OMG What a travesty! Reversing an XK into a Moggy TravellerHere's one from a bygone era......
View attachment 12187
I don't feel the XK150's lines were improved by the conversion.
I know of someone who was not happy and reversed his XK E type at speed into a 1600E Estate in the Tunnel in Birmingham, obviously did not look after his XK very well
