I really like that 924, but hoping the 928 Pacer isn't real.

Are there any of these coupe estates that have made it into mass production? I'm thinking BMW M-Coupe and Reliant Scimitar so far.

And what is the deal with the window in the original 3 door Sierra? Looks like they were unsure about losing that bit of structure there from the 5 door. Thank god they fixed it for the Cosworth.

I actually prefer the rear windows in the XR4i to those in the Cosworth that were based on the bodyshell of the poverty spec 3-door Sierra. May just be me though

Seem to recall from hazy past that the problem with the 944 cargo is that they have only a few rear quarter glass's kept for "spares" and that for some reason its an incredibly difficult / expensive piece of glass to make which basically stopped production.

i could however be talking out of my 'arris.

all this talk of shooting brakes and no pictures of a Lynx Eventer?



Almost bought one of these a few years ago before common sense (and the realisation that 2 V12 powered leyland era jags plus no garage was a bad idea.

Still kick myself though!

Audi Shooting Brake Concept, based on a TT. Does it look familiar?

A few more odd estates here.

I think the 944 Cargo looks great. Hadn't seen one before.

There were a handful of estate conversions done on the Corrado. Hmmmm....

This was a factory job that got very close to production, not a back street conversion,

Is this in any way related to "shooting brake"??
Anyway, I think the 924 and 944 are great!

I've always had a secret passion for an rusty allegro estate.... so the 924/944 estate looks bloody brilliant to me!

Does anyone still do the conversion?

This thread proves conclusively that there are way too few coupe-estates on the market. I had a Z3MCoupe and thought it fantastic - and that 944 is simply amazing.

Come on everyone - more coupstates!
