Estates That Never Were.....

[strummerville]

That's lovely and has more than a passing reference to the BMW Z3M or even the still born Porsche 944 shooting brake.

The dealer picked it up at auction perhaps 3, maybe nearer 4 years ago, doubled the price to the 50k and was waited ever since. I don't suppose 4 years of inactivity will be kind to an ageing Bentley.

That is bloody gorgeous. Why oh why did they not make it???

+1. I'm a sucker for a Porsche and even more of a sucker for a fast estate. Ergo, this pushes my buttons!

Sensible paint and trim and it would be nice.

Yes I think so.

There was an article about it in one of the classic mags a couple of years ago.

In my eyes, it looks good from every angle which not many one-offs do.

A1969 Murena



Found it here.

Newsarticle said:

Or a Murena, created in 1969 by a pair of rich Americans who were upset that their Porsche was too small to take their skis, so they developed their own and rather stylish Grand Tourer.

This was parked up at Goodwood Revival at the weekend, ex-New York Motor Show car from 1959, one of only a handful built....

British built one off - looks very Jag Sport Brakey. Pity it's a diseasel - if that had a V8 and sports exhaust....

Did I post about this before? Not going back through 30 pages, but since the thread is resurrected.
Triumph Vitesse Estate.
About 20 were produced, by Park Royal the Triumph dealers, but only to special order and at great expence, as Triumph insisted they bought Herald Estates , and then paid for the parts to convert them. This is not one of them.

Not an estate, but a van...

It just popped up on Farcebook

This guy has bought a comprehensively written of AH3000, and a rusted beyond repair A35 Van...

Behold! I hope he doesn't mind me sharing... nowt to do with me...









Cant wait to see the finished article...

I actually really like that!

I like the old American "sedan delivery" vans and there are some good ones kicking about.

I'm a little bit obsessed with BMW E36s and there are a few of these that i'd happily own!
