My grandfather always gave me a subscription to popular mechanics and science. In the back pages there was an advertising square for Advanced Adapters to seamlessly put a small block Chevy in an xj. My dream car is a BMW M Coupe with an M54? IDK but i didn't know about this sho...brake.. ill figure it out. But electric and engines aren't Jaguar s strong points

I don't know why dark brown interiors aren't more popular.
Or Green as a color.
Such a great combo. .

The ALD 993 is incredible

The shag is to better hide the cumstains from just existing in that space

They always used to be back in the days of vinyl seats. Blue, red also, and other colors.

Stunning

I'm torn. On one hand, I want to like it, but on the other, the rear proportions seem just a tad 'off'

Aston wagons are quite interesting looking the mid 80s models are a little strange looking but interesting

The Lagondas were an interesting shape to begin with!

The V12 made up for the odd looks.

Aston shooting brakes are always incredibly stunning

I think the Jaguar XJS Shooting Brake is even prettier than the XJS coupe, this one is a mere 90K https://www.llclassiccars.com/en/collection/jaguar-xj-s-v12-shooting-brake-lynx-eventer-2/

This looks like if James Bond was a father in the English Suburbs

That’s a spectacular car and this flavor of British racing green is perfect.

Although it looks a little like a funeral procession star with that nice greenhouse and all, I am all in.
HorseyDung@reddit
Yes please..

It is not a station wagon. It is a car you drive when you go on a shooting. It is long so you put your gun inside and hopefully the game you shot. But typically you would leave the carrying of the game to the poor peasants in your service.
lynivvinyl@reddit
You could post this everyday and I would still look at it longingly.
coolcarvideo@reddit
How cool would it be to drop off your kids at school in that 😉

Strong Harold & Maud vibes. Looks great.
andersaur@reddit
Not that I wouldn’t enjoy it in some ways, but oof, the lines really took a schoolyard beating during the wagonization of that poor unfortunate example. Yikes. The green and brown are nice I suppose.

Aston Martin station wagon :) Would look great with a U-Haul cartop carrier, roof rack, and bumper sticker from Pedro’s South of the Border :)

Or the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota!

One of the coolest cars in the world, i have always loved it
MosesActual@reddit
Y'know. I'm very quickly becoming a dad car guy. Fuckin wagons have become my jam and this is beautiful.
I was already a van guy, and station wagons/estates have just invaded my tastebuds in the past ten years.
