Did you see this weeks episode (in the pub) of Cars-n-Coffee? Cliff took a picture of the Volvo you used to have.

NO! I just took a look thats them. The Gold one is a 1973 P1800ES like my 1972 but mine is white.

The Black coupe is a 1968E and the White one next to it is a 1961 P1800S This last coupe has Carbs, Twin HS6's. While those with E desinarions are J Tronic fuel injected. However, All of those little fellas are built like little tanks.---Keoke- :

Shooting-brake is a 2-door hatchback car body style with a squared-off rear.

The term originated with custom built 2-door luxury estate cars altered for use by hunters and other sportsmen such as golfers, riders, and polo players requiring easy access to larger storage areas than offered by the typical autmobile boot.

In the early 19th century, a brake was a large carriage-frame with no body, used for breaking in young horses. By the late 19th century the meaning had been extended to a large waggonette designed for country use. A "shooting brake" carried a driver and gamekeeper facing forward and up to six sportsmen on longitudinal benches with their dogs, guns and game carried alongside in slat-sided racks.
