The discussion started as these things do, with me explaining to my brother that although I'd like to buy an additional Jaguar, what I really need is a new pickup truck.

Well, one thing led to another and...

Introducing the El Jaguaro!







(No cause for alarm. No actual sheet metal was damaged in this brief and horrifying exercise in photo editing.

Deepest apologies to the very nice XJ6 for sale on Craigslist whose photos I butchered.)

 

Someone actually did this a while ago, saw pictures pop up here about a month or so. Had vinyl or something wrapped around the outside towards the "back" portion of the cabin for an 80's town car or whatever look.

Actually here it is. Googling "xj8 pickup" comes up with a lot of interesting images.

Tremendous! Thanks for passing that along.

People really will make a pickup truck out of anything. It looks better than I would've thought. That XJS flying buttress thing sorta works there. How fun to know that somebody actually did that.

 

I kinda figured as much, seeing as how there are still rear doors

 

There are definite limits to the amount of effort I'm willing to put into the El Jaguaro. (And apparently that limit is ten minutes of primitive cutting and pasting in Microsoft Paint while I eat a sandwich at lunchtime!)
