I think it's real. It's a good photoshop job if not.

The Jaguantia is real as I've seen many differing views of it before
but that Xantia Cal look surf van is a 'shop of the actual lower right inset image.

how about slightly modified C6's?

It borders on tacky but after a little thought about what the car is doing as a showpiece
in the end I don't mind the artwork on the door pockets which, if I'm correct, aren't just
photos but actually painted and varnished onto the wood. RHD too so what kind of show
work was Citroen planning for it. Not sure the cream seats feel right personally although
the inset darker biscuit chestnut colour is a better choice.

I think the transparent look doors and bonnet in this guy's photostream look plain silly.

That XJS is absolutely genuine. Xantia_v6 showed me an article in a Jag magazine featuring that car a long while back now....

Definitely a photoshop, zoom in on the image and you can see where the rear door shut lines have been erased.

Also, no door handles ? I'm sure the MOT man wouldn't have anything to say about that type of modification. :roll: :lol:

Edit: ok I guess we all missed the small image in the bottom right corner which is obviously the pre-photoshop image showing original wheels, doors and door handles! :lol: :mrgreen:

Yes, but not difficult to do. With Xantia prices at a rock bottom, if funds allow, now's the time to do it.
