Rare Estate Cars...

What's weird about the Montego?

look at those rear lights, rare to me

[ChinaTom]

I saw a few of these Montegos in India in 2007 - most had rusted very badly.

 

I have a thing for shooting brakes - still wondering whether to create one from my XJ81. Resisted so far and saving furiously for one like this.

 

 

this will also suffice:

Only a prototype sketch, Chrysler Alpine Estate. A very handsome carriage I reckon.

+1 does look a good shape that..

 

Mercedes Hydrogen Car, better looking than the A Class

S'pose my Renner 18'state is quite rare now?Using it as doggie transport/parts carrier-to the extent I've never even photographed it.Best find a camera & get it posteritied.

Jaguar XJ12-based Rapport Forté.

Lancia Thema Estates must be pretty rare,so how about an 8.32?

Roofline/pillars of that Chysler Alpine drawing looks very like a Montego Countryman.

 

Haven't played my ace card yet I think quite a lot were made but it seems as though there are very few survivors here on in Germany.

Blimey. Looks like its got the rear light clusters of a MkII Polo breadvan!

Lovely! Got any rear angle shots?

[Volksy]

loads on google under peugeot 104 break..

 

[MrRegieRitmo]

Excellent - looks nothing like I was expecting!

[shite_meister]

 

Want!

[Captain Slow]

 

Want!

 

 

 

 

 

Don't like many German cars, but that is one big lump of want!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, can anyone remind me who did the XJ40 here? I know it but can't recall...

They look more like a Citroen... but I can't think which model.

I think this was an in-house project at Whitley. It was a serious production proposal but got canned at the last minute. Only made the one - a 4.0 [edit again: this is bollocks as unless they swapped the front end for the show, one is a Sovereign or Daimler, and one is a twin headlamp job]. My Jag is about to have some serious bodywork attention - if there is sufficiently much to do, I may see about recreating this. If Lynx is still about, and wifey and bank manager approve, there'll be another one.

 

edit: Avon did the conversion for the Series III. Not so good imho - quite a few takers though. Conversion cost £6500 in 1981.

 

 

The blue one is a V12 and was recently for sale.

 

Off topic, but this is another in-house one-off - they should have launched it. There would be one in my garage now.

I have the Jag Enthusiasts Magazine with an article on the XJ40 Coupe somewhere...One of the S3 XJ6 Estates was Raced at Wimbledon Banger World Final a couple of years ago tooRawy

I remember that, but I also remember seeing it as rotten as fook on ebay quite a few times!m0rris

[Captain Slow]

ChinaTom, That isn't Jag's own prototype. The silver Sovereign is, but the one in the group pic is an external conversion by, I fancy, a German company. I just can't recall their name.

[ChinaTom]

WOW! If you remember who the German Co was, let me know. If they still exist they may have another job coming their way.
