Should this be called an Austin Allegro shooting brake?
My sister had one of these, loads of room and very comfy. Still think they are quite a looker, that upswept rear window is great.

Haha, not many people have called an Allegro a looker. The shooting brake/estate is much better looking than the saloon, though that's a pretty low bar.....
And I agree about liking the styling of the upturned rear window, here's another example I saw today. This is much more of what I think of as a shooting brake, a 3 litre Reliant Scimatar, think this one is probably the nicest one I've ever seen.
And I don't know if it's because they are a rare sight over here, or from @Jung's postings, or simply from growing up watching the A-Team, but I've always much preferred the looks of American people carrying vans, especially the older ones, to any of the Euro offerings. Some of them are just too ginormous for UK roads, but here's two I've seen over the last couple of days that look great fun. If I was into travelling or was in a band, I'd want one of these.

Ah nice, all the bikes and all the family. Not sure about the golfists sun visor though. Funnily enough I saw a ratty pick up version of the previous VW van today in Earlsfield that was also great, but it did not have the extended cab like that one. I didn't have time to photograph it unfortunately but will try again next time I'm over there.
And following on from the shooting brake chat above, marvel at this turd. Should this be called an Austin Allegro shooting brake? That just sounds too misleading. Austin Allegro with shot brakes is probably more apt.
