And what about the sporty and beautiful Landcrab?
I do like them in different colors.

Oh, yes, the traveller was available, both in series II and series III.

My father had a series II saloon (1956).  He would have bought a traveller except that he needed to use it on business and there were all sorts of restrictions to the use of a "commercial" vehicle (later relaxed).

Not a Rover, but British and really unusual:

Ebay auction # 250270766400

I've never seen a picture or any mention of an estate car version of this generation of Morris Oxford.  Were these factory built, or were they subcontracted to an outside firm like the Rover and Ford estates?
Is this a scarce car in its homeland?  I wouldn't be surprised if it's unique in the US.  The seller's opening bid seems very optimistic given the condition though.
