Those are pretty rare.

Looks like a little British hearse.

There's only one proper British hearse...

I bought one off a back lot twelve or thirteen years ago and ended up selling it on eBay because parts are/were a nightmare to find.

sweet a code-alarm!

1 of 509 made! Of course mechanically it's identical to the Jensen-Healey which enjoyed a massive 10,000 unit production run. The body is only different in the roof and rear areas I think.

I like Jensen Healeys and love MGBGTs.

Somehow that doesn't translate into any fondness for this...

The phrase "awkward at best" comes to mind... I still like it though.

If I were going to make the Jensen-Healey mistake, it would have to be one of these.

I wish I had a barn to start a wagon collection. Dammit.

Damn, if I only had dry storage space... I'd like to have a GT to bookend my roadster.

sugar ! insert pik of stripper

I'd love one these, but I have a Volvo 1800ES, so I'm a bit biased.

Just need to point out that it is a shooting brake, not a wagon. There is a JH at a wrecker near me for sale for $500.00 with no title. They are surprisingly worthless.

Two and a half hours left and it sits at $1100 with no reserve...

I just ordered some parts from Rock Auto and got, not one, but two J-H wagon magnets.

As mentioned these are very rare but it sure seems like they show up on eBay quite regularly.

No it's not, I think shooting brake is a term that hasn't actually been used in the UK since the dinosaurs roamed the earth, only Americans trying to sound English use it. It's an estate car, not a shooting brake and not a wagon.

It's also super awesome and I want it!

The back window of a shooting brake opens up into the roof to allow you to stand up in there with a shotgun. If it doesn't have that, it's just a 2-door wagon.

The brits aren't really all that good at coupes. They'll often get one or two angles right, they're often pretty ungainly.

Note that the MGB GT was styled by an Italian, which is why it gets by. And the E-type is just the proof that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

No interest in the J-H meself, I have enough needy kids.

Sold for $1100.

I have a subscription to an English car magazine and they call every wagon a shooting brake. Including the db5 in the most recent issue.

Is it Shooting Brake magazine?
