Welcome aboard David. I agree with Trevor, many conversions were carried out to cars that didn't have an estate in their range back in the 60s and 70s - Ford Zephyr Mk3, Triumph Stag estates, Rover P6 "Estoura" to name just three although to be fair, the Stag estate was based on a 2000/2500 estate with a Stag engine and brakes fitted. There was also a pair of SD1 Rover estates, one produced in house by grafting on a Volvo 245 back end and the other (if memory serves) by FLM Panelcraft and Ladbroke Avon produced a Series III XJ6 estate : https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/jaguar/xj6-xj12/avon-jaguar-estate/ Avon also produced the Avon Acclaim, essentially a Triumph Acclaim with Jaguar-like luxury and also a turbo version. Many conversions exist as aftermarket, sadly few manufacturers actually build their own estates from the drawing board onwards.

Hi David....welcome to the Club It sounds more like it was a conversion but back then there were many more coachbuilders than around today so it could have been a conversion for a specific need (hearse or similar). I seem to recall the first production Jaguar estate was the X-Type although there have been bespoke bodies for the XJS (Eventer) and a few others made for the Arab market.
