I noticed an odd looking car in one of the small pictures, so I take a closer
look.  Yep, now THAT is what I *NEED*.  It was a Jaguar V-12 XJS, and had been
done over as an estate, or as we call it over here, a *station wagon*.

This would be a Lynx _Eventer_ conversion.  Very spiffy, imho, and it gets
rid of those nasty (to me, anyway) sail panels that make the XJS look really
dated.  Kind of like a high-class Chevy Nomad 8-), or a British version
of Volvo's P1800ES (which, being Jensen-built, was Chiefly Brit. anyway,
I guess).

I've never really understood the aversion that most folk have for station
wagons - in my mind, if it's not a sports car, it ought to at least be useful,
if it can't be just for fun...
