estate car

NOT a car with an extended rear cargo section (like a stationwagon). No. But the type of car you find on an English Council Estate (areas of public/social housing, typified by brutal, modernist, concrete ghettos erected in the 1950s.)

Vauxhall Nova, Peugeot 106, Ford Fiesta, Citroen Visa, Ford Mondeo, etc.

The older the better. Stinky material interiors. No alarms. Not worth stealing.

I have £200 to spend on a new vehicle. Looks like all I can afford is an estate car.

Estate Agent's car

The new mini cooper. As popularised by the London estate agents Foxtons.

That is such an estate agent's car.
