Hi Peter, Welcome to the club.

 

There about a third of a million S Types built with about half of them going to the export market.

 

I don't think that there were any estate versions built at all.

 

A friend of mine was extremely enamoured of the S Type and bemoaned the fact that he had to buy a BMW Estate to take him and family to France where they have a house. He felt that the S Type was the next best car after the E Type.

 

I have heard that someone saw a convertible s type in the USA, but I think if must have been an after market conversion. 

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Quick google search brought up these.

Convertible??

Another view of the estate.

Wonder how well it would've sold??

No official estates were built as far as i know.

ive never heard of them either & these are the first photos iv'e ever seen of an s type estate as well most be a concept

there must have been a few built as the photographs show them in different colours black, yellow, grey. what happened to them I wonder. food for thought. at least I have some photographs to show a coach builder so they can build one for me when I win the lottery lol

I think the photographs are quasi concept photos, Peter.

 

I have had  look at all the statistics surrounding the s type and the figures for each of the various models produced, and there is no mention of variants.

 

However, a good coach builder could produce one!
