I doubt it is an XJR100. Colourwise it should be German. So it would not even be an R. More so probably a 3.2 or 4.0l with bigger rims.

Although those brake do look like it has more power...

I'm going to be honest with you, I have a serious repugnance towards taxi's and their drivers. They are a law unto themselves most of the time and do as they please on the roads. They stop wherever is convenient for them with a total disregard for other road users, block loading bays, bus stops and no parking areas. They drive round in poorly maintained diesel powered cars which belch out carcinogenic amounts of smoke, which does more damage to the environment than any Muscle car ever could. I will only ever use a taxi if there is absolutely no choice, and I can count on one hand how many times I've been in one. The black hackney taxis are ok mind, it's just the private hire ones I have more animosity towards.
The good thing about Jaguars were you never saw any as Taxis until they made the X Type Diesel. Then came the S Type, X350 and XF in diesel flavour and I see these as taxis which is sad.

There are loads of petrol taxis here... They run on lpg instead. Loads of Ford and Chrysler V8s in Bremen as Taxis

I'm still pretty torn on how to feel about this one. It looks so much like an older E class wagon from the back...

This was the one I was looking for from the beginning, found yesterday, thanks to the Dutch Jaguar forum (which has a thread with several more crazy modifications).

WTF is THAT?

Why would you ruin a perfectly good motor home?
What happened, the rims wouldn't fit on the Back?

I wonder if the sunroof works?
Go from camper to car without going outside.

The only thing that camper is missing is that Honda spoiler on top.

Dude, darken the windows and that is a hearse... for the driver.

Whomever designed the XJR Estate, and whomever ordered one, is already dead; at least in spirit.

There's actually a undertakers (or funeral home as some call them) in my area which has 3 X308 hearses, an XJ40 Hearse, 2 X300 limousines, 2 X350 limousines and a regular black X308. I've stopped to look at them, and the coach builders have done a fine job using Jaguar parts and panels, as well as seat materials to create the cars.

They also have at other branches Saab Hearse and limousine, Mercedes and Volvo.

Since So. Cal is the land of Low Riders; where would we be without a Jaguar Low Rider?
