10 British Estate Cars That Carried a Nation - #1 Is Pure Timber | Britain Luxury

Close your eyes and picture a Britain where one car had to do everything. It took the children to school, carried the tools to work, brought home the weekly shop, and still had room for the dog, the suitcases, and grandmother on a Sunday. In this countdown from Britain Luxury, we celebrate ten British estate cars, from the humble Austin A40 Countryman and the sawn-off Hillman Husky, through the pretty Triumph Herald Estate, the timber-framed Morris Oxford Traveller, the mighty Ford Cortina Mark Two Estate, the honest Hillman Avenger Estate, the hard-working Austin Allegro Estate, and the dignified Rover 75 Tourer, to Jaguar's first ever production estate, the X-Type Estate. And at number one: the most loved load-carrier Britain ever built, a little car made of seasoned ash and tenderness, the Morris Minor Traveller. Which one did your family own? Was it the little Husky that carried the shop, the Herald Estate that took you on holiday, or the Minor Traveller with the smell of polished wood on a summer morning? Tell us your story in the comments below, because we read every single one.
