" Estates that never were" I wish this never was

I don't think anyone has mentioned the Triumph Vitesse Estate.

Surely, with a 2 litre engine, four seats and a relatively enormous load area, this high-power version of the Herald Estate/Courier van, would have accurately targeted the niche market that later bought the Scimitar Estate. In fact about twenty were sold, that were cobbled together from Herald Estates, Vitesse engines and panels from the parts dept at the Standard-Triumph Park Royal Service Depot. Because they were complete cars that had to be rebuilt after they came off the production line, they were far more expensive than they need have been and never went into production.

A few genuine cars still exist: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/l.benfield/norfolk-ts...



While more have been modified:

Me too, all it needs is a repaint in a sensible colour scheme

What do we think the Bentley Wagon Queen Family Truckster will fetch

Sold for £17.5k + the usual . . . . I was outbid

No was bidding over the phone, as was the higher bidder.

There cannot be many cars that boast the eccentricity of a built-in awning!

Sorry I don't know, highest bidder was on the phone

My neighbour owned this exact car, a genuine Mexico estate and offered it to me for 5 grand in 1998, or a swap for my 2WD cosworth.
