On the Jag shooting brake, it's real apparently, I did a reverse search and this is the original source.

1959 Jaguar XK150 shooting brake

Converted by Peels of Kensington to be a support and tow car.
3.8 l, 262 hp

Fun story: the owner, Douglas Hull used it to tow Patrick Lindsey’s ERA single seaters to and from racing events. Hull himself entered a Tholt-y-Will hillclimb on the Isle of Man with the tow Jag, where he achieved a considerably better time than Patrick Lindsey driving his ERA, leading to the famous remark from Lindsey: "My God, I got beaten by my Tow Car!"

The Ex-Douglas Hull, 1959 3.8-litre Jaguar XK150S ‘ESTATE’
Registration no. 6797 N Chassis no. S 825043DN Engine no. VA 1219-8


Found a scale model of it, but I'm confused if this was a one off or a production model now.
