Yeah. With the light pods on the bonnet. 20 something years ago when I was in 10grade I was in Arjeplog where most car companies test their cars Lambo was driving the Muchilago(I believe it was) with round ”9 aux lights drilled through the front bonnet. Always had a laugh about it when they came 😂

Went and visited our car friend again; he's got quite a lot farther on his '69 Camaro project. Might be done in spring. Plus he gave us a pretty nice rectractable antenna (not power) for our car. Spring project to put it on as snow has now unfortuantely put an end to the classic car season up here.

Seen this car thus morning in Frankfort IN.

Looks like it's LWB, plenty of legroom even in the back seat.

Is that a Jaguar?

Yes, or to be really picky, it's a Daimler. There are a few differences in the emblems, and the grille and handle on the tailgate are wavy on Daimlers. To my surprise and great delight, my wife actually remembered this today, eighteen years after we gave away our Jaguar.

In the US the Daimlers were badged as Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas IIRC...

Best memory I have of this era of Jag is at a buddy's wedding in 1999, he had borrowed his manager's newish dark green XJR for the wedding.  Had it decorated with Just Married signs, etc.  After the wedding, he couldn't get it to start.  I ended up driving the bride and groom from the church to the reception hall in my rental Grand Marquis, while the Jag left on a rollback.

Part of the charm of these cars, our '93 model was quite acceptable, thanks to Ford having already been able to influence the quality over a couple of years. The switch to Porsche was unsettling; the quality was solid, but all the pleasant interactions in traffic and all the smiles disappeared.

One of the few I've seen that wasn't school bus yellow.
