1930 20/25 hp Rolls-Royce skiff - It is not a shooting brake, but this mahogany-clad skiff is worthy of consideration. Initially it bore a saloon body built by Barker, an English coachbuilder in business since 1703. Chassis # GDP14 Photo: Ian Dawson in Great Marques: Rolls-Royce, a book by Jonathan Wood
1932 Rolls-Royce Phantom II shooting brake at the 1998 Concours on Rodeo. Bodied by Bohman and Schwartz of Pasadena, California, this former Phantom II Henley Roadster was converted to this current "shooting brake/estate" coachwork for a trip to Africa that never happened as WW2 heated up.

This 1935 Rolls-Royce, with an unusual 'hump-back' shooting brake body, now serves up T-shirts inside Ron Johns' Surf Shop in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This is probably the only occasion the vehicle has been within sight of a surfboard. Photo by David Miller

This very original 1937 Ford may have been produced in Canada with right-hand-drive and exported to Great Britain as hostilities worsened. It is currently being restored in England by the owner, Bob Brewer. Courtesy of Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society (UK)
Julian Pennell's 1938 'Brakenvan' was designed by Lord Freddie March as a "Multi-purpose covered brake for sportsman and estate owners". Based on the 10hp Ford Prefect E93A, the bodies were manufactured and sold commercially in the U.K. Photo & information courtesy of Brian Shields
Looking suspiciously like the 1924 Hispano-Suiza 'Tulipwood' Torpedo, the 'Tulipwood' 1939 Lagonda Rapide V-12 attracted much attention at the 2000 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Nine long-chassis cars were fitted with a wooden body between 1937 and 1939, making them lighter than conventional cars. Fitted with an aluminum twin-cam Bentley engine, two cars claimed first and second place in class at the 1937 24-hour Le Mans race. Photo & caption courtesy of MotorTrend.com
Allstair Duncan's Wolseley 25 shooting Brake. The Wolseley 25 had a 141" wheelbase and was produced from 1938 until 1948. The 25 was built in very small numbers as a formal limousine, this woodie is a notable exception. Despite its traditional, almost elderly appearance the 25 (so called due to its 25hp) produced nearly 110bhp thanks to its twin SU carburettors giving the car fair performance.
