Talk:Austin Westminster

"The estate version was named Countryman."
Someone has included this statement for the A95/A105 (pre-Farina) Westminsters.

It is true that estate version of Austin's saloons/sedans were "named Countryman". BUT there is no mention elsewhere in the entry of there ever having been an estate version of the Westminster, however. Nor do I remember ever having seen one (in England, where I was living most of the time when they made the things).

It's possible that there was some sort of Australia special "estate version for down under". That certainly happens with one or two Vauxhalls from the 1950s. And Both Vauxhall (well, Holden) and Austin (well BMC) had Australian assembly plants at the time which could have felt the need to ... branch out.

If anyone knows of the existence of an estate version of the Austin Westmininster, please can you add a line about it (or two) in the wiki-endtry - which version(s) of the Westminster - A95, A105 or both or more?, when/where produced / converted? where/ how many sold? etc. - preferably with source(s). Otherwise I think we must conclude that the statement "The estate version was named Countryman." is mistaken aka untrue, and needs to be removed.

Anyone....?
