    One for the car experts - station wagons of the 60s and 70's...

    Help me compile a list of 5 door station wagons sold in AU during the 1960s and 1970s with an engine capacity <3.5L.

    So far I have (not sure if all were sold in wagon form in AU?):
    Volvo 12(X)/1800 Wagon
    Volvo 144 wagon
    Peugeot 404 wagon
    Peugeot 504 wagon
    Mazda 808 wagon
    Holden EJ/EH, HD/HR and Kingswood

    There must be lots of others...?
    I am not sure which Cortina models were sold in wagon form in AU???
    I assume all the falcon and valiant models are out for reasons of engine size...

    To add to Uncle Ho's Datsun list, the 510 as well, although quite rare - known as the Datsun 1600 here.

    Our first proper family car when I was growing up was a 1977 Mazda 929 wagon.

    What about the W123 Mercedes Benz 280 TE? Did it arrive here before 1980?

    Mercedes, no, but I have seen a few in Aus that were conversions using Holden panels.
    I chat with a fellow who is restoring one. He is on another forum.

    Oh no! Not the Sigma. Hasn't that been deleted from motoring history yet? Shocking car.

    Thanks! - should have also specified non-4x4, and vehicles that weren't a disgrace to motoring history (Sigma).

    I take it none of the rover cars were available here in wagon form during that period???

    I'm sure I've seen the odd P6 wagon at car shows. Not too many around but I think they were sold here.
