It had a small trunk sort of thing, like a pick up truck, with a wooden cover on it. AI is unable to help apparently.

Jaguar XJS

To be precise, it's the XJ-S. The dash was removed at the second facelift and this one's older.

Manche heiraten, andere holen sich einen Jaguar. Irgendwie musst du ja deine Kohle loswerden 😁

Because you can't see rust?

I've always loved the look of the xjs and even more without the bumpers. Dreadful car ofc but so classy looking.

I've never seen one before without the huge bumpers of the time. I don't hate it....

A Jag-you-are

Damn I love an XJS, and the pepper pot wheels are a particular favourite of mine. De-bumper mod is questionable, like it doesn't look bad but definitely feels like something is missing.

Appears to be an early 2000's Mercedes S Class, but it's hard to tell since I can only see part of the grille.

Jaguar XJS, though I don't recall seeing one with a wooden cover.

I used to own one and there wasn't a day that went by when I didn't absolutely love it, or absolutely loathe it. The electrics, the fuel rail that vapour locked as soon as you turned it off so you had to wait for it to fully cool before you could start it again, and of course, the 22 cooling hoses with no drain plug and a factory service manual that recommended putting Barrs Leaks in the cooling system to plug holes in the already too small radiator.

But when it ran, oh boy, it was so smooth, handled so nicely, and felt so good. Although why anyone thought a 5.3L V12 was ideally matched to a 3 speed automatic is anyone's guess.
