While researching the previous post on the Lagonda, I came across a one-off Lagonda shooting brake created by Roos Engineering of Switzerland. The shooting brake has always been an odd duck. It's essentially a luxury sedan or sports car that has been converted into a station wagon/estate.
Only two kinds of people commission and own shooting brakes. The first category consists of British country gentlemen who need it for hunting on their vast landholdings. Their donor cars are often Aston Martins. The second category consists of one person, the Sultan of Brunei. Rolls-Royce and Ferrari have made dozens of shooting brakes exclusively for His Highness.
Here are some interesting examples:
