A Jaguar MK2 Estate coming from Matrix

That one looks excellent ! Perhaps it is a very dark green but in any case it is really attractive. Presently, the Jaguars I have are in smaller scales like 1/87 and 1/43 but I used to also have one in 1/18 scale.

I never knew Jaguar made a wagon such as this.... that's about as dark a green as you can get; I like it.

It was known as a Country and from what I know only one was created by an outside coachworks firm.   Some more info here

@john-quilter   John; I recall reading an article several years ago about this one-off factory car done for the Jaguar racing team, but that article stated that the car was scrapped by the factory after its short period of use.  Maybe there were more than one made??  Strange......I hope it was saved because it looks great.  Judging by this pic I would assume it was saved as the surrounding cars are later model years.  Interesting that the licence plate number is the same as on the model Randy posted.

For those who prefer white metal models Gems & Cobwebs made the same 1962 Jaguar Mark II Estate model number GC17.

Randy, I too am a fan of wagons and look forward to adding this model to my collection. Thanks for the headsup.

Me too !

Obviously an intriguing subject that has caught the imagination of more than one model producer.

Provence Moulage did a kit version a long time ago. A very crisp resin casting, with separate floor/seating unit, dashboard and a one-piece vac-form glazing insert.

It also comes with separate chromed grille and bumpers, photo-etch window frames to be snipped out and fitted (not a job for the nervous beginner, I suspect) wire wheels with separate P/E spinners, and plastic headlights and fog lamps, plus sidelights which are almost too small to be seen – and unfortunately all of them are yellow. Either the plastic has yellowed with age, or PM did them that way because they have done the car as a French-registered vehicle and at the time French traffic regulations dictated yellow-tinged rather than clear lamps. Could be tricky to source clear replacements.

I think those wire wheels are pretty spectacular for a kit produced that long ago.

It would make up into a very attractive model, but for 20-odd years it has remained in the “Nice to have, maybe I’ll build it one day” section of my collection. And there it will probably remain.

Oh, and speaking of unusual Jaguar estates that never made it, how about an S-Type wagon? . . .

And then there is the Premium X version of the X Type wagon an actual factory vehicle but not a successful seller in the USA.

And I needed an XF Sport Break so had to create one.  Again never a big seller in the USA.

And here is a whole group including a built Provence Moulage Mark II County.
