Jaguar Estate?

[Alan]

I thought I'd had one too many tonight coming back through London, but...

Is there such a thing as a Jaguar estate? I saw this thing which looked like an old XJS, but it had a weird sort of fastback/station wagon back end. Like a Jaguar hearse, but looked factory-built. Had a private plate so don't know the year, but it looked '80s

What is this curious beast?

Isn't Google amazing?

Found it. Called a Lynx Eventer. Mad looking thing

I thought I was going mad too - I saw one of these last week on the M4 (heading toward London) with the contents of a house in the back, it looked like..

Bizarre!

What a piece of shit....

Its even worse than Aston Martin's Vantage "shooting break"

But at least you can have that put right by the factory!

LOL

I like the blurb about the 're-engineered tailgate'.
They had to, because the original used the tailgate from a 70's Renault 5 !
After Renault stopped making them, Lynx trawled scrapyards/panel suppliers until that supply ran out too.
