I’m not familiar with every car that uses that rear suspension, but in addition to the vented rotors, there are two other things that look unusual to me. The windows around the strut springs are different. The vent on the differential cover seems different. I’m mostly familiar with XJS and XJ6, But I can’t find any Differential cage photo online that looks like that one around the strut springs.
The Breros Had a Jaguar D-type at one time. Get your fantasies running.
Vented rotors themselves are not unusual. Many people have added them to street cars. Kirby Palm promoted it on XJS board regularly.
Looking at the lower control arms too, they appear to be fabricated, Not the castings used on any production car. Whether that is DIY homemade, or the sign of something very special, I could not tell you.
Seems that whole cage is hand fabricated, not at all like a regular jag of any type. But not a backyard job either, very well executed. I think it’ll be worth the time to find out what it’s from.
Oh this just gets even weirder! The parking brakes are reversed…. And the radius arms have that bellowed section… that thing has had some serious work done to it.
I just saw this post. That’s my guess as well. It could also be from a De Tomaso Deauville or other similar sedan.
Interesting to observe that lumping goes the other way, too. Jag engines are commonly swapped out for American V8 engines while Jag IRS units are regularly swapped into hot rods, Maseratis, etc. In the case of the Maserati it’s from the factory, though.
