Barn Find Unicorn V8 British Coachbuilt Shooting Brake (estate) – left in Garage 30+ Years. Welcome to a very special barnfind episode where Jonny Smith ventures to rural Scotland to uncover and pull out a rare coachbuilt station wagon based upon a British V8 1960s saloon car. It’s name? The Rover Estoura 3500S by FLM Panelcraft. This classic car has been sitting for over 30 years, with only two owners in its life. Will it run? Is it in survivor condition?

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
