Father in-law runs a clearance business and got a load of JLR parts, showroom items, etc, including display engine internals and these big (maybe 80cm long) silver models of the F-Type, XF and XJ.



Anyone know what they are from? First thought was scale wind tunnel models, but I asume if they were they'd have wheels for having on rollers.

Colour chips. Dealers use them.

Might be, but they seem very large and heavy for that?

Maybe apprentice built models. I have a lot smaller version on one on a plinth. But suspect wind tunnel like the other poster suggested.

I'd say colour tests or dealer / test colour demonstrations.

A concept/design study perhaps

Looks like the mould tool for making the colour chips - would think it is made of aluminium or similar
