STRANGE ESTATE CARS

Ok, it's better than I thought it would be. I still reckon you could fit a coffin in the back though.

I saw one of those in Dover back in the summer with old '70s NASA logos on the rear doors. Intrigued me no end.

I love cars like that as well, especially with the NASA connection - just imagine who might have travelled in that!?

And there was me about to go down to my local Bentley dealer and order a UTE version.
Mmmmmm Bentley UTE!

Surely that makes it a more dignified Jag then. In most films you'll usually find a couple of bodies in th eboot of a Jag, at least with this one they can be wrapped up in fine Walnut just like the driver!

Yeah but the rear screen's to far away form the rear seats to be able to smash it out with a sawn off & blast the police isnt it?

and finally, a nice one. (Don't take the piss out of the kid....he's mine!)

Great movie that, if a little weird.

A free compliment to anyone that can name the film.

some sort of bond variant.

Beetle estate



I almost found a stag estate, but is was just stag running gear & engine under a PII estate body.

The Gardner Douglas looks quite neat actually.

The Bond is an 875 with a Hillman Imp engine. Much quicker than the equivalent Reliant!

That woody looks to be modelled on a Lea Francis 3 door. What's the base vehicle Camaro?

Look again at the Rolls van - I reckon the back end is Triumph Courier! Great promotional vehicle.

Why does this remind me of the BMW Breadvan (Z3 M Coupé? Strangely appealing

I :think: the MSE predates the breadvan, but both are on my favourite list. As is the Z4M coupe...

Just thought I'd re-activate the thread having found a pic of my old XJ6 Avon!

no offense mate but that is ugly

each to their own though!

Somone need to put a 'C' in the number plate, so it reads OUCH

[52classic]

No offence taken lads but what I loved about that car was that it was guaranteed to prevoke opinion!

As many people said they loved it as hated it and that just made it more fun to own.

Generally a well engineered conversion although it didn't take long to recognise the Renault 5 bits. At the time, Series 3's were going through their 'banger' phase so owning something different was well worthwhile.

Lost touch with the car after I sold it but it went towards the South East. Reg no is no longer on the DVLA site.

Now that the S3 is gaining a bit of recognition I wouldn't mind finding another.
