HB GT Estate?

[1900sr]

Did they ever build any GT estates? A friend thinks he's found one but I'm guessing it's going to be a conversion rather than a factory car.

No they didn't....it'll just be a modified Estate

I believe Epic Envoys in Canada did an HB Estate that was kitted out like a GT and may even have sported a 2 litre slant 4 OHC Victor motor.Not totally sure about the latter.
For some reason the door cards werent full, (the nock down kits were despatched from this very Town as were full export models that were stored hereabout, before being shipped mainly to the Antipodes, as I have been assured chatting to various locals re my Viva, who worked , some also on the Luton lines before presumably being transferred to Harwich)gave the apearance of a Deluxe but the dash and centre console were as per GTs.

I have seen pics of estates with the GT bonnet. I also get the idea that here in the colonies a GM dealer would accessorize the car however you ordered it - I still even feel my actual GT is a Bitsa.

Since moving here to near Harwich in the last 5 years I get to chat to very many folk over the Viva, inclusivel of two fellas who used to work for Vauxhall whence they stored cars near here before being exported. Early Viva were sent to Australia in knock down kits and were still badged Vauxhall when Holden took over the operation. This Viva was Canadian and given SL type grill and rear end 3 round horizontal talk about returning coals to Newcastle(or Luton)The HB was badged Holden Torana and had round headlamps, as well as other details, inclusive of on Brabhams a Chequered badge with 70, denoting not optomistic top speed ala the English 90s but peek or gross power. They even developed the 4 door in the Antipodes,
