Default unusual sight


Saw one of these yesterday in Lechlade:-

XJS shooting brake

I didn't know such a thing ever existed. Apparently only 42 RHD versions were ever made so it's a pretty rare sight!

If you thought that was bad, try this:

DB5 Shooting Brake by Radford

Mind you only 12 made

At least it lost the saloon's aerodynamically-efficient but ugly rear buttresses.

It ought to be cool in a Scimitar/P1800ES/HPE way, but in reality the proportions are a tad awkward.

The XJS lloks like a hearse!!
The DB5 looks like a DIY job, no thought at all as to the esthetics.

Remeber these cars are made for people with more money than sense.
Just as long as they can get a few pheasants and their purdeys in the back they don't care.
