The humble estate car - known elsewhere as a 'Station Wagon' 'Shooting Brake' & quite often shortened to 'Wagon' or 'Brake' - known better in the UK as an 'Estate' though - they have been around for over a centaury - early versions appearing around 1910 - External wooden frame versions becoming known as 'Woodys' - Something of a cross between the car and a van they have formed great all round transport for families & businesses alike and are still popular in todays market
Early versions were pretty basic
But styling also factored
From the small
To the large
They have continued to evolve for generations - please go ahead and post up your images
I must admit it doesn't lug many loads, as I don't want to get the carpet dirty. Unless you count the tools and spares I always have with me "just in case".
Talking of which, where's the elongated old lady belonging to our very own fer4l ?
Sadly still in dry dock - can't in all conscience make any progress till lockdown lifts as working on her involves unnecessary travel, working in close proximity etc. but meanwhile a picture of her the day she arrived on these hallowed shores (well, Redhill actually) and we'll be on it with updates as soon as conditions permit!
