This is an S-reg, P100 was a lot later in the UK.These camper van things were essentially kit cars with own chassis and body using Cortina bits rather being a GRP body stuck on a cut-down Cortina.

That camper - Clamshell bonnet, separate indicators, terrible fit and finish....it's a proper shed

OK, so not 'estates', or were they? Lancia Beta HPE, Volvo P1800ES and the Reliant Scimitar. Oh, and don't forget the XJS Eventer by Lynx. Bloomin' lovely, the lot of them.

I assume that was because the 3dr estate was the original 'van with windows' like the current Berlingo etc.Or did the 3dr estates have longer doors from the 3dr hatchbacks?

I'd classify the Lancia Beta HPE, Volvo P1800ES, Scimitar and Eventer as shooting brakes, and the likes of the Kadett and Escort 3-door estates.My neighbor used to have an Allegro 3-door estate.

Indeed, and as I can't shoe-horn this into "pictures of your fast estates" as it's lacking the "for the time" bit, Viva estate (well, Magnum estate) with some extra bits:Loads of them.back in the day.
