Yeah the XJS estate was coach built by a company called Lynx (I think)

There's one that I see parked up in Harrogate, looks odd. Called an Eventer I think?

The Rover P6 estate wasn't a thing of of beauty either, I'd post a pic but I'm struggling with this new iMac after years of Windows.

I was wondering if anyone would remember the p6 estate.........seen a couple........and I am not blind yet!

[colr6]

Had to google that one! Never seen one in the flesh,saw it immediately thought of austin a40 rear door well the top of.

[colr6]

If you compare the p6 to fords equivelent the zodiac mk3 which in my opinion looks right how could they get it so wrong,I suppose because it's BL or rover or whatever name they decided to use to improve their image!

I've not seen one in the flesh. We saw the SD1 estate prototype at Gaydon - that looked a lot better IMO.

When you lived your youth in Southend you saw almost every conceivable car! To many wide boys with too much money lol.

Up north we still had horse and carts" oh the fresh air till the horse dropped it's insides in front of you! Haha

[accord83]

And if you struck a match behind it the effect was like nitrous

[colr6]

You ended up with the fastest milk cart in the north!

[PeteRS8084]

Or the fastest milk fart in the north!

[colr6]

TRUST YOU! Lowering the tone excuse the pun

Another beauty.

That was a factory product rather than an independent conversion though

[colr6]

Which proves even the big Boyes get it wrong!

Whilst I still wouldn't have one, I think that this (like the aforementioned Mercedes CLS) is one example of the estate being better looking than the saloon it's based on

[colr6]

Which really was not hard to achieve

I know mate, but it still looks a proper debacle.

[colr6]

Suppose they worked on the theory like selling a house stick a conservatory on the back it might sell!

Believe it or not the original design/concept for the allegro was a good looking car. Then bl destroyed it.

[PeteRS8084]

That's not a good looking car, it looks like a pacer! And that's a car which is internationally hated! Even by Americans and you know what they drive!
