O.k. I will

I love the classic moggie travellers. Not to everyone's taste are what I call the eyelids over the headlights,but I think they're cute. My idea of a station wagon, is the absolutely enormous ford country squire. There are a couple local to me,and in very good condition for their age. The first estate I ever went in, was my uncles bright red MK1 cortina. I used to sit in the boot with a rather large old English sheepdog xx

Thanks again Richard for featuring estates. I owned a 1978 Chevrolet Malibu Classic Estate with sticky paper sides and a 1984 Plymouth Voyager minivan without the fake wood. The Malibu wagon would be worth something here in the US with its optional 305 c.i. V8 in good condition, but those early minivans have all but disappeared. The Mitsubishi 2.6 litre four banger got very used up and was expensive to do repairs upon. I would love that Humber Super Snipe Estate from 1960 though!

Like the little Citroen Ami beak. Eccentricity rules!

Thank you what a collection my choice was the Skoda at the beginning but so many to love .

It'd definitely be in my shortlist too, thanks for watching

Looking at these gorgeous vehicles is catchy. However it takes an enthusiastic owner to babyseat them.

I was having a bit of a hard day today but watching this and seeing you all smile and enjoying life has cheered me right up - thanks for that

Thanks Richard.

what a collection love it great to be part of occ

Thank you, Rick, for another splendid compilation. Estate cars, station wagons, shooting brakes, ‘woodies’, etc have always appealed to me, so your pics ticked all those boxes! At 3:22 is 1937 (Derby) Bentley 4¼-Litre, chassis B142JD. Originally an all-weather tourer by Vanden Plas, it was first owned by Frederick Huggins. In 1950 it was converted to an estate car, as seen here, by Vincent of Reading.

All estate versions were and are ideal for a family.

That was a huge line up Rick. My Dad had a Mk 3 Zodiac Farnham Estate which my sister and I both learned to drive in. After a Mk 4 Saloon, he managed to find an Estate version - HUGE - White, exactly like the one in this video. My Mum used to love being 'wafted' around in big Fords. I really did love the Austin Westminster Estate at the beginning, and like you, am very fond of Standard Vanguard Estates too. Thanks for this video - many memories stirred yet again, of my distant childhood . Take care and bring on the PILOT ! 🙂

More Pilot sooooon!! Thanks for watching

The Citroen DS Safari along with the CX and BX are well designed, the Peugeot 505 is another lovely Pininfarina collaboration. The green Humber is impressive. I do like wagons for their practicality but some makers offerings look a bit like a half hearted add-on. 👍

Our family had the Borgward! 1.5ltr Isabella Station wagon in Cyprus around 1964. It was White over Yellow and being Cypriot registered had the number AC377. Right hand drive. Huge cargo space in the rear. For what I remember it was a very comfortable car.

Thanks

Wow, many thanks ST!!

15:25 IIRC, the Coronation Rally was the previous name of the East African Safari prior to the mid-60s. In those days many of the entrants were privateers, long before the manufacturer teams spoilt the local nature of the event. This looks like the start of the rally as very few cars remained clean for long. The registration KGD835 is very similar to that on my father's 1960 A55 Countryman which he bought in Nairobi and, several years later, shipped to Italy and drove to the UK.

Lovely collection👍 The yellow Allegro estate on an 'S' reg would be a series 2 - some did have the round headlights. And the Cortina estate Ambulance is owned by the Great British Car Journey in Derbyshire,

I'm surprised you never used the word shooting brake, referring to the Bentley and Riley woodys. The gentry would use a shooting brake to go off on their shooting trips on their private estates. As a kid in the 60s my grandparents lived near Abbotts of Farnham in the village of Wrecclesham, I remember seeing the Ford saloons arriving to be converted into estates. My neighbour deals in VW campervans, but he also likes barn finds, this month he has rescued a 1962 Austin A35 Countryman estate, and an extremely rare 1964 MK1 Cortina estate with the fake wooden sides. Great video 👍 well I am an estate car guy 😊

Bring on the Ford Pilot 😉

Cheers, hunting down photos of fab old estates and station wagons is good fun

The Chevy at 4:12 is a '61 model. There was a really nice first-generation Ford Taurus wagon lurking behind the Skoda in the very first pic, those have gotten pretty rare now.

The Ford probably appears in the main vid I did of that Bicester Scramble earlier this year, thanks for taking a look

I like the linx avenger very smooth 🇦🇺👍👍

The Chevy ,about 30 minutes into the video with the rectangular headlights is a 1990. This was the last year for that body design.

Great vid OCC If I could take one home it would have to be the Volvo Duett @ 31:10, ................... many years ago I was offered a Duettt van, but due to other comittments ''had to walk away'' - something I've always regretted!

An excellent selection of photos, as you pointed out, the exotic shapes of windshields and panels demonstrates great thought as much as aesthetic originality. Wonderful to see the two Austin’s in New Zealand. While the FIAT 500 Jardinaire has a rear mounted engine, I wonder how/where it would sit in front of the rear hatch? Well done for another wonderful piece 👍👏👌

222AUN would in fact have had to pay purchase tax to be able to fit rear windows. No tax dodge allowed when converting a van to an estate car. It did mean though that you would no longer be limited on speed to 40mph as were vans.

Now the Beach Great Grandfathers.

what a lovely video of my years of cars notice how unlike nowadays they all looked different

Woodies always rise to the occasion 😂

Another brilliant collection of photos Rick - after a while I thought I recognised the background music - it's the same as played in our local doctors waiting room ! Copyright free I presume?

The rear fog light on the Tercel wagon at 16:30 is remarkably tacked-on looking and barely to the right of the centerline. You can see the blanking panel where it's supposed to go, to the left of the reverse light. Japan and US-spec ones used a completely different "ATM" with a taller and narrower license plate recess, dedicated handle slot and no provision for a rear foglight.

Lovely to see the Austin A95 Countryman. My Dad owned a 1959 when I was in primary school. 👍

@@oldclassiccarUK As a teenager, I remember those had rear seats which folded to a comfortable double bed complete with head support....My pal's father owned an Austin Dealership in Airdrie and they had a demonstrator in which he demonstrated the facility.

It's a shame about the Vauxhall Victor FE, if legend s to be believed. Like unlikely bedfellows Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Packard et al., Vauxhall had a very distinctive styling feature inherited through the generations of its cars, the fluting up the sides of the bonnet from the radiator. This was lost when, following industrial relations troubles in the 1970s, the firm became a mere badge variant of the much less troublesome Opel. The Cavalier Mk1's bonnet also had flutes despite it being a shared design, but after the FE there were no more mainstream Vauxhall-exclusive cars, as far as I know.

That Derby Bently woody is a stunner

Hi, thanks for watching, there was at least one of those in the first Classic Estates compilation that I uploaded some time ago.

At 7.06 that Chevy wagon is not a real Michigan State Police car. MSP were a very specific copyrighted color of blue. That light bar on the roof is a Federal Mogal brand Street Hawk and MSP uses a large dual red round sealed beam rotator on the roof. Also, MSP vehicles have a clear plastic sign in the middle of the hood from front to back that says "state STOP police" I'm just sayin.

Have I missed the Moggie?

Pretty sure the estate was referred to as the 100E Escort (or Squire, depending on age/spec), thanks for looking in

I have never been a fan of Estate cars I find many of them just plain ugly and look like saloons with a box shaped feature stuck on as an after thought. However, saying that there are exceptions for example I have always rated highly the Volvo V70R . I recall many of them as police cars whistling, they did make a whistling sound, down the motorway at a fantastic rate of knots. Great collection of photos.

I remember Volvo 140s also making a whistling sound as they drove along, I think it was the rush of air around their circular headlamps
