Vintage Thing no.92.1 - Jaguar XK150 Foxbat shooting brake
 |
| Foxbat - wasn't that the code name for a Russian cold war fighter? |
Nobody knows who made it, although another existed back along (good Cornish expression). This car is thought to be the sole survivor and historians have suggested it was made as a competition tender for long distance motor sport events.
It is properly known as the Foxbat. I'd spotted the badge on the rear door at the time but forgot about this when I uploaded the admiitedly rather dark pictures.

| I still say it took a genius to realise the concept of blending a Moggy with a Coventry cat. But how does that make a Foxbat? |
On my screen at home they don't look so murky but there's something fitting about this car emerging from the shadows.
