The Wacky Wagons Thread

Recommended Posts

OK, due to the fact that the Stagea is such an unusual vehicle, I have decided to start a thread covering other wacky wagons. I have had a (rather unhealthy) obsession with wagons for a long time and I thought now would be a good place to share some of the oddball creations I have come up with. Feel free to post up links / pics of any others you have found – particularly the Mini Traveller Estate I keep hearing rumours about, but have never seen (no, I don’t mean Bonspeed’s concept)

First up, the Mustang wagon!

Or, how about a V12 Lamborghini?

Ferrari 250GTO "Breadvan"

In 1961 Count Giovanni Volpi wanted to race a 250 GTO but Enzo Ferrari refused to sell him one. Se he took a 250 GT SWB and modified it to GTO specifications. At the same time he had Piero Drogo clothe it with a body designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and based on the aerodynamic theories of Dr. Wunibald Kamm. The car was 6 inches lower than a 250 GTO. In spite of a higher top speed, it was only moderately successful. Best placements were a 2nd at the 1961 Tour de France and a 3rd at the Monthlerey 1000-Kilometers. However, with its nickname "Breadvan" (Camionette in France), it became world famous.

*edit - this car isn't actually a wagon. Because it only has 2 side doors, in Europe it is known as a "shooting brake" and no, I don't know why either

For all of us Skyline and Stagea drivers who are/were Corolla drivers, how about the good ol' Tercel/Corolla 4WD?

FYI - the Sultan of Brunei has had HEAPS of custom cars made up by all the big makers, and quite a few of them are Shooting Brake/Estate/wagon versions of supercars and luxury cars... Lucky bastard!

Metropolitan wagon custom. Nash never manufactured a Metropolitan wagon, although two concept wagons were built.
