Photoshopped.

I don't think so. Here is an article about it. Imported to New Zealand.

Very interesting Rick!

The article refers to it as a 'LHD' but clearly they meant to say 'RHD.'

The one-off dash treatment is very unique.

Thanks for sharing.

Local RHD Jaguar S-Type off the shelf parts were used to convert to RHD including the dash with Retro gauges and center stack integrated.

Gar, my reference to the 'one-off' dashboard came directly from the article Rick provided a link to. Off the shelf parts were used, but obviously modified by adding components from the Thunderbird to the Jag S-Type dash, as your photos show.

In any case it does appear to be a 'one-off' mod.

There are a number of shops down under doing conversions to allow vehicles less than 20 years old only made with LHD to be driven on NZ roads.
Australia has restrictions on LHD as well requiring conversion on newer vehicles.

That guy contacted me and told me he had a small route and delivered mail with it.
