Boots and bonnets, no. But I'd never heard of a shooting brake. Probably too much "pleb" and not enough "toff" in my background. Couldn't find one online that looks like the one above. Looks like a Citroën.An English boot.

That Shooting Brake is a Jaguar.
Ahhhh! As Agent Smart used to say, "Missed it by THAT much."
"...Originally conceived for hunting game, shooting brakes were described by Commercial Motor magazine as having "seats for eight persons as well as the driver, whilst four guns and a large supply of cartridges, provisions baskets and a good 'bag' can be carried" in 1908.
Nowadays, they've morphed into a sort of cross between an estate and a coupe. Sports car panache. Estate car space. And, more often than not, a soupcon of knee-trembling suave."

Shouldn't that boot have a box of spanners in it?
And a spare bumbershoot
That's the driver. "Face like a bag of spanners"
If you can dodge a spanner, you can dodge a ball. Just don't sound right
