One of our puzzlers kindly sent me some literature on another version of the Lynx Eventer.
You will note the similarities to the puzzle car - especially in the shape of the rear lights.

However please note that the puzzle car doesn't come from the UK (it's also LHD).

Original picture = 1989 model, new picture = 2000 model?  :-\ :-\

The puzzle car is not a Lynx Eventer but a replica produced outside of the UK.
Of the other two photos I don't know which is the later Eventer....

Reply #3 is the later model; you can tell by the rear lights!

Les Ateliers Réunis in France
Not a break de chasse but a break de classe ;D. Being a Jaguar of that age, breaking was probably right...
