Quite a few ordinary and in Europe non-rare station wagons in this list, while some truly rare and beautiful shooting brakes are missing… such as the Lynx (Jaguar) XJS or the Tesla model S SB.
These might be "rare" in the US, but many of them are fairly common in Europe and the UK. The Volvo, the BMW, the Lancia and the Reliant would hardly rate attention over here.
I was going to say the same thing. My Works carpark had two Volvo 1800 estates which was indeed a bit unusual, then again there were also two Escort RS2000s. I also had three mates who each restored a Reliant Scimitar and another who was straightening out a bent Espada using a hydraulic ram jig. Another mate (a Lancia nut) owned a couple of Lancia Beta HPEs. I've seen the AM Lagonda estate at the Cop Hill Climb. I myself have a Subaru Legacy Wagon which are rareish, as in only one per town here in the UK
What a great selection of cars. Although we didn’t see most here in Australia I’ve always been a big fan of the Chevy Nomad and I actually worked on cars like Minis, and VWs including Type 3s and on a customer’s Volvo 1800 coupe which was a pretty rare car back at the end of the 70s till the early 80s as an apprentice mechanic. Thank for sharing.
Several cars of my ultimate likes are here ...the Espada..the Lynx eventer....the Ferrari FF...Thanks God I own in project condition both the P1800es and a Lancia HPE ...if only I had bought the Espada when it was affordable some years ago ...I would be the most happy person..
The original price of the Espada in Germany was 69.375 DM in 1968 & it rose to 91.000 DM in 1978. The average yearly salary in Germany was 10.842 DM in 1968 & 26.242 DM in 1978. So WHEN was the Espada „affordable“???
@@stefanpaege2046 The Espada was considered for many years during the 90s and early 2000s as a peculiar and for some even ugly or not so desirable old and difficult to maintain car. This had an effect of being offered many examples on prices between 12 - 20k. I was fullish enough not to grab one in this undervalued period though i have been very near to owna suisse one in 2007 for 25000eu that unfortunately for me was sold the previous day of my call. This car in the most desirable light blue with dark blue interior now would cost in the area of 200k
@@stefanpaege2046 when they were second hand of course. Lamborghini's back then were not very well made, with trim falling off etc. Not cheap as per a Ford Cortina but affordable by supercar standards of the time. I fell in love with the Espana the first time I saw one
Love a sporting estate, had a couple of HPEs, one was my first car, A great addition to the list would be the DP Cargo, about 14 were made based on the Porsche 924 and 944 platforms.....
A few fun facts: The BMW Z3 Coupé was an off-work project from engineers at BMW, without the permission of the upper management. The inspiration for this was the Ferrari 250 GT "Breadvan". Once they were ready they showed it to the management and got approval. The name "shooting brake" comes from the 19th century. A "brake" described a heavy drag chassis to tame young or "energetic" horses. The "shooting brake" was a modified version, often with site mounted seats, gun racks and space for food and alcohol for hunting parties. In the automotive world it is often a coupe oder 2+2 seater with a hatchback.
@CarNewsTV - Any chance you can start leaving your descriptions up a little longer? I often have to rewind the video to finish reading them. And I'm not exactly a slow reader. Just a thought!
Unique means a one off (uno) or only one left in the world. Nothing unique there. I have a mate with a truly unique Gilbern car as its a prototype show car which was never put into production. Actually he had to finish it to make it a working vehicle
I remember as a kid my Dad bought one of the Ford Pinto sport wagons. It was black with orange & white stripes with a bubble window each side in the rear and mag wheels which were very unusual on a production station wagon in the 1970's.
Many lovely cars there, Aston maybe the greatest. I have always been into this type of practicality and sometimes it even looks better than other variants, like in my Taycan Cross .
In a barn next to my house on an abbandoned overgrown property there is a P1800ES basically new standing under a cover in there and several other cool old cars. I was looking for our cat and went in thru a hensdoor that had opened after a storm and I found these. Havent seen people in the house for many years and the cars were last in traffic in the 70 and 80s accoring to records from the numberplates. Cool find didnt think there were things like this to be discovered anymore
I remembered a couple of my neighbors had a Ford Pinto wagons. It was so weird not being a 4 door vehicle. My mother had a Ford Pinto that her and my father bought from my grandmother just after my grandfather passed away. It was at my aunt Sara’s home in the garage. I remembered my mother drove it from our home to our vacation home during the summer. The car didn’t have any air conditioning in it. My mother kept the windows up in the way there and back home. Luckily the car was an automatic. I even remembered this one gal that was working this one summer at this one campground had one in red.
Woah, hard to pick a favourite, fucking mean lookers in this. A M3 Coupé used to drift its way through the French national rallye championships some 15 to 20 years back, it looked like the batmobile and the noise matched just as you would like. Fond memories..
Great video! I suppose the the real purists would say only a "tudor" however, I have a Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo and I would definitely say that fits in this video. Also for God sakes lol if the Ford Pinto is in there, better include Chevrolet Vega Kamback and I dare to say AMC Gremlin and Even the Sportabout.
Not surprising to see how most of the production models are well executed, while the vast majority of the "one-offs" and aftermarket conversions look pretty clunky. The exceptions being the 456 Venice, which is stunning, the Lynx Eventer (which I think was fairly popular for a time, wasn't it?) and the Callaway, which is not really a shooting brake. Fun video. Thanks for making it!
What about Volkswagen FOX wagon in the 80’s ..it was a two wagon or shooting brake with a peppy little 1.8 engine..I had one bought new 1988 until 1997 with 187,000 miles on it and A/C still worked when I sold it..great little car
Is it a shooting BRAKE (a car-stopping device also capable of shooting; like a gun) or a shooting BREAK (a type of vehicle which can also be used for pauses or breaks in someone's routine and able to easily accommodate hunting gear as well as hunting trophies inside it)?
A shooting brake (not break) is a vehicle with flat bed traditionally used by the nobility for riding over their large estate to go shooting game (pheasant, partridge and grouse etc). The flat bed makes it easy to slide all the guns in and also gives a convenient seat edge over the rear bumper so to sit down and partake of a dram of whisky etc. They are also perfect as a fishing wagon. The British aristocracy apparently love Subaru's for this very reason, hence I own a Subaru Legacy with its AWD. It's also a beautiful looking car
Love your show, I've been following your channel for quite some time, I've never had a chance or a need to put my 2 cents down, this time, I HAVE TO!!! I love shooting brake cars, but, .....I like car details to be more accurate than your average text book, which is usually wrong. There has never been a Ford Pinto Shooting brake!!!!, or a '57 Chevy Nomad shooting brake, that wasn't a shooting brake model.... Either!!!! Correct me if I'm wrong bro, but, I think I've got that correct. Cheers, still a cool video, nice cars...👍💯💯
I’ve also been following this channel for a while👍 I can say there isn’t really another name to call the Nomad or Pinto besides shooting brake, it’s just the body style
If you decide to call every 2 door estate a shooting brake we would be here all day, seriously a bloody Pinto!? Volkswagen Square back? A Chevy Nomad? These are regular estate cars.
The Chevy Nomad for 1955 through 1957 was the rarest model of Chevrolet sold at around 8,000 units + or - per year. The later model year cars were de-contented ( watered down ) and were even available with lowly 6 cylinder engines. My uncle had a 58 Nomad, and with the exception of pictures, I don't think that I have seen more than 1 or 2 of the later models on the streets.
In many cases, adding that box at the back, behind the axle, high up above the car's original center of gravity, can materially alter the car'sbhabdling characteristics. change
Many of these aren't rare. They may be unusual, but far from rare. Quite a few in this list does not fall into the category of Estate Cars. Your video needs culling, and a new caption !
@@iwb316 " estate" is the English name for what the rest of the world calls a "station wagon". And I don't see many shooters hanging out of that Ferrari do you ? So still a stupid name......
The Aston Martin Virage is the most stunningly beautiful car here imo.
yes, very elegant
The Espada is a 2+2 GT tourer, and certainly no shooting brake.
You are correct. The shooting Brake Version of the Espada is the "one of one" Lamborghini Faena
Agree!
Yeah and it clearly has a fastback not a brick shape lol
@@ImaxFreak73 Which was no beauty
@@Bamsebrakar2011 that is out of question 😉
Great Cars, indeed!
I miss the Volvo 480 ES and the first Honda Accord Aerodeck.
I saw only five shooting breakes. The rest is the ordinary executions, hatchbacks or breaks.
Absolutely LOVE the Mustang Square back!
Owned a 1973 Volvo 1800es w/ a Blk Vinyl retractable Sunfroof...loved it!
Well that was a rare treat. I've always loved wagons. Most of the "shooting brakes" are especially nice. Love the European styling.

So many of these where I lived in Surrey in the 80s💪🏼
That Scimitar GTE looked awesome!
Some of them sure made a lot of noise for how fast they took off!
Still cool to see some unique cars Thanks!
at that time they produced masterpieces

I would take that VW Squareback out of all of them ✌💖☮
I remember seeing the 330 and many other one-off Ferrari’s at Chinetti Motors in Greenwich Connecticut when I was a kid
2:53 in Brazil a similar one was made caled Variant. It was later replaced by a more modern called Variant 2.
Never heard the term a "shooting brake car" before. That 2nd car, the Ferrari had very "corvette" looking front fenders.
Most pintos were 2000 or 2300cc 4 cyl. The 2.8 V6 was a sort of rare option.
456 GT Venice should have made production. It pre-dates the successful Panamerica by about 25 years.

1:35 there she is.
I knew the clown shoe had to be in here somewhere, I absolutely love them.
luxury car 😯
Tolle Autos. Ich hatte gehofft das Video endet niemals! 🙃
I really wish car makers would start making more "Shooting Break" cars
The Mustang is quite interesting
Very nice. I've always liked wagons.
Too bad so few are made anymore.
Wow. Never knew these cars existed.
Great vid, beautiful cars.

The Mini Countryman ?!?! 🤣 Certainly not a ‘Shooting Brake’. But a fun car - as a kid I remember my dad’s one.
The Scimitat GTE is far from rare, they were produced in the thousands. Same goes for the Z3M.
What about Fiat 130 shooting brake, or Alfa 156 gta Sportwagen?
Very cool 👍🏻

Also: A "brake" descirbed a wagon to tame young horses in the 19th century. Thats why the "shooting brake" has its unusual name.

@@howardkerr8174 they are very cool, but they are normal estate cars, not shooting breaks, because they are based on normal cars, not sports cars

Do you know the Jaguar E- Type from the movie Harold and Maude? That's a rare hearse- shooting brake
The 2nd is very rare. There is one at Galpin Ford
hola el video está Genial muy bueno:
🤜🤛👍👏👊
Keep it up bro nyc videos 👍👍
That's what suv should stand for
When simon templar has kids and needs groceries
What don't u like jaguar's and Aston Martin's
What qualifies as a shooting brake? I had a chevy Vega wagon shooting brake
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_brake
Ya missed a couple, like MGB GT.
I had 2 of them back in the 70’s
Great looking cars . Easy to work on ... all the time ! Lol
You confused hatchback with station wagon
That Ferrari ( the first one ) looks like a hearse...Maybe they could have designed something like the Espada that was still a fastback coupe...

The Ferrari FF is a great design. Most of the others? Not so much
I missed the VW Polo II, the VW Sciwago and the Shooting Brake Version of the Porsche 944.
Toyota Corolla te71 it’s cool shooting brake
It is a pity that the Honda S800 Coupe will not appear.
I wonder why the Volvo 1800 ES was so called when it had a 2 litre engine.
What about the Magnum STR8?
Many of these aren't rare. They may be unusual, but far from rare. Quite a few in this list does not fall into the category of Estate Cars.

Quite a few of these cars are nether Shooting Brakes, Station Wagons or Estate Cars. They are hatch backs and the Espada definitely isn’t.
What about the beautiful Cadillac wagon?
You forgot to include the Vega wagon
😳😳😳👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼
The Ferrari wagon . No
The stang wagon , yes
Interesting video but far to little time to read descriptions

You removed the Aston Martin so quickly😏

I've got it in 1080 here. 😕
Apart for their rarity, most of the look like hearses. 😆
"shooting brake"
It's an effen station wagon......for the English upper class that
Can't have the same name as the "peasant's use"
Shooting Brake a horse drawn wagon for shooting party's. Station Wagon a Yank name for an Estate.
@@iwb316 " estate" is the English name for what the rest of the world calls a "station wagon". And I don't see many shooters hanging out of that Ferrari do you ? So still a stupid name......

The Citroén DS version is missing 😉
What in the world is a shooting brake?
There were plenty of Ford Europe shooting brake models
If a Pinto Wagon is included then a Toyota Corolla Liftback should be too.
Not long ago the word to use was "break"; I wonder why it has been replaced by "brake".
Why is it called shooting brake?
