They are coach builders after all

For that money, they could have got a regular RR, a Volvo estate for ferrying around all the cucumber sandwiches and golf bags or shot deer and a lifetime salary package for the staff driving said estate....

It's a luxury 'pimp my ride.'

A shooting break is a two door estate not a four door estate.

A shooting brake is a vehicle to take a gentleman or gentlemen, their guns, and their dogs, shooting. There is no specified door number. The term may well have been "hijacked" by luxury/prestige manufacturers applying it to coach built estate versions of various sports and GT cars from the 50's and 60's on, but the term was used on various coachbuilt Rolls Royce's, Bentley's and various lesser makes with 4 doors (usually wooden framed) a long time before that (certainly in the 20's). In fact the original shooting brake was a horse drawn carriage.

@@badbusdriver7160 since the late 40s shooting break cars had two long coupe doors not standerd saloon doors and an estate rear end. Mark 1 and 2 escort estate cars were not shooting breaks as they have short doors (example). I think 80 years is a good run for understanding the shooting break concept as an estate car has 4 door and a hatch back. Not just shooting breaks had horses drawn equivalents.

@@jasonmeehan1269 A proper (motorised) shooting brake is a working vehicle used by an estate owner and made for a specific purpose. Not unlike the original US station wagon which came about for hunting lodges to pick up their clients from the (railway) station and as such, by necessity (like a shooting brake) they had to have plenty of space. A 1930's Rolls Royce 20/25 shooting brake fits the description and purpose much better than an Aston Martin DB5 shooting brake. The latter may arguably be prettier, but it is more a means for rich playboys to show off their wealth than an actual working vehicle. No idea about your long door fixation as pretty much every 2 door estate has them otherwise access to the rear seats is difficult. Despite what you seem to think, this does include the MK1 and 2 Escort estates as (being 2 door) they had longer doors than the 4 door saloon. Your definition also makes the Allegro estate a shooting brake🤔😂🤣 And no idea about the reference to hearses and fire tenders?, you are the one claiming the term shooting brake can only be applied to a 2 door estate with extended doors🤔

That's a better interior

The front wheels were driven by two hydraulic motors from a pump driven by belt off the prop shaft. The original sound system was all Pioneer supplied as that’s what Jankel (with a J!) used. It was a great sounding system and that’s why it took up much of the boot. There was no consideration for practicality, just to have something unique. There were two cars produced with scantily clad girlie pictures instead of veneer wood trim…

Hilarious that they went to all the effort of making it an estate, only to make the boot smaller than the standard car. We have a 1987 model and I can put a 6 foot step ladder in there diagonally it's so huge. Also interesting that they didn't spec the crystal whiskey decanter in the rear and the mobile telephone in the front armrest. Ours has both so surprised the Bruneis didn't choose it.
