Having eBay up for Marinas/ Itals everyday brings a steady stream of model cars, whether die cast, plastic, boxed, self build etc. These are all as far as I can see saloon or coupes and as an aside Marinas.

Was a model of an Estate ever made commercially? And whilst asking were any Ital models made?

Thanks.

there was somebody a few years back who made estate car body shells made in resin , and you fitted the chassis of the CORGI saloon I don't know if they still make them. the best thing is to search sites for old models

if you type in morris marina estate resin model on GOOGLE it brings up BIJOU trans kits and mentions the marina estate body plus other cars that they have made there was also an ITAL model which I presume was resin . I was looking this morning so its worth having a look on GOOGLE

Thank you- yes there’s some write ups out there such as
https://www.maronline.org.uk/bijou-transkits/
and a picture from here:
https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/ho ... ina-estate
so they exist. Just need to hunt one down but I reckon that’ll cost as much as 1:1 scale model.
