PLEASE NOTE: FOUND ON EBAY - I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH THE SALE OF THIS VEHICLE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM
Mooching through the classic cars on ebay, I came across this Jaguar XJS hatchback conversion:
(From: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-XJS-3-6ltr-Hatch... ) :
According to the advert, the conversion was carried out using a Citroen hatchback door, and I have to say, it looks to be an incredibly good quality job (can't say I like the fuel filler though!)
What I am struggling with a bit, is what have they really gained with this conversion?
Unlike a shooting-brake conversion, I can't see that you really gain much in the way of luggage room, over a standard XJS, so I don't really get it! (I supposed it comes under the heading: "It seemed like a good idea at the time!")
