Aston Martin Shooting brake by Roos
We’ve been known to fetishise a shooting brake.
It’s a loose, archaic definition that’s received a bit of renewed currency of late. A sporty car for an outdooresy, sporty type – usually adorned with a station wagon’s utility with a dashing cad’s steeze.
And it doesn’t get much more burly and steezey than the Roos one off pictured here.
The Swiss company has made a number of Aston based ‘brakes – the Lagonda version being probably one of the most well known.
But this baby makes us want to get out that Purcy 12 Bore and go beating with the labs…
Oh to be a sporting fellow!
-
- Surely the burliest brake ever created.
-
- Roos spent 1800 man hours on the conversion.
-
- Entirely new roof line.
-
- Should surely have been a Lab or a Red Setter?
-
- Less- than ideal light clusters.
-
- But super successful in the rear 3/4.
