CONUNDRUM - anyone familiar with this "Majorette" Jaguar
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.
