ID:	5487 I purchased this 1/64 Jaguar off eBay as I am a Jaguar enthusiast, and 1/64 collector. It looks to be a 4 door Series III XJ6 (although the label on the trunk / boot reads "XJ6L), the packaging is "Mini Motors" with Majorette Rilleux France as the manufacturer, and made in Macau. I have NOT seen it in person yet as it is in transit to me via a non-collector friend in the UK, but these are the pictures of it. Honestly I am not even sure if it is 1/64 / 3-inches except the seller listed that scale. I remember Doug Breithaupt's Tales of Toy Cars profiling the Jaguar sedans / saloons, but I can't recall ever having seen this. I had originally thought it was a Summer product (the old XJ12C), but the detailing is more refined and it is definitely a 4-door in the pics. I know Majorettes well enough that it is not part of the standard line. Does anyone recall if this was an special series made by Majorette, and / or possibly subcontracted out to some other toy maker? Thanks in advance.

    That would be from High Speed. The pull-back-and-go version (as noted on the package) is #4112 and has orange windows. There is a free-wheeling version at #412 with clear windows and interior.

      Hey, thanks very much, Mark. I hope to find a loose version because I don't want to liberate this one.

              When you have this magnificent network of experts including yourself, its easy to know what to look for. If only it was my holy grail, the AMT Pumps Pontiac Catalina convertible!!!!!!
