    Sure,in the beginning large land holders in England,had a horse drawn wagon with a cover on it, for hauling the guests out on shooting partys.
    A break is a type of wagon ,hence shooting break.
    As the Cnetury moved into the 20th Century ,the same landed gentry needed a car to do the same job so chassis would be purchased and a box body built onto them. The name shooting break stuck with them.
    A station wagon or Depot hack as a very similar vehicle but ,in general ,larger and not as luxurious as your lordships Rolls Royce ,Bentley etc Shooting break.
    The rear doors on a break would fold down so it can be used a seat and place to sit the purdys whilst the beaters scared a brace of pheasants or Grouse so they could blasted into oblivion.
    This is a Bentley 4.25 Liter Shooting break of a similar Vintage .

    Many shooting brakes are sedan conversions now. All have only 2 doors...not counting the rear hatch. Think Barto's shooting brake Jag.

    I feel like to be a REAL wagon guy I should have known all that :whew:

    Now I'm wondering what else there is to know about wagon types that I am unaware of :49:

    Did we guessed this one already? Maybe an easy one, but a wagon on the beach is what this thread started with:
