Whilst Harold Radford and FLM Panelcraft made a small number of
shooting brakes based on the DB5 and DB6, only a single example of the DBS
was ever similarly converted. It was built for a Scottish Laird, ordered
through the AML and general car dealer, HR Owen and built by FLM Panelcraft. The coke bottle design was cleverly retained and the side
windows were simpler than the previous FLM converted DB6. Also unique to
this car was a full length roof rack designed to carry fishing rods -
clever stuff. The above image was taken from the 'HR Owen Ltd reports...', Spring 1972 edition, an early magazine to promote the dealer to their large customer base. It describes the car as a DBS V8, which it is not since it is based on the six cylinder DBS. The article also states that the H R Owen had received a number of inquiries following the production of the car although no more were ever made. |
