Ian (the guy who took the photo) said he saw it in Switzerland. He thought it was the back-end of a vintage car before realising what it was attached to!

Here's the actual link:

He built it himself? Actually I'm going to allow myself to be a bit impressed, and I guess it makes more sense than a roof-box in terms of space and fuel consumption. Still wouldn't use it myself though!
 
I'm allowing myself to be a little impressed too, since he used the rear tow bar rather than some crude drilling into the rear wing/bumper. I suppose if you have to tow something additional to boot space, you could do it this way, saving fuel at the same time... Still, I'd want a paper bag over my face like phil said!

Edit: Just saw it is a 3L, so this is in fact a car that carries 4 adults with all luggages and can do ~100mpg! The removable part is excellent too, meaning you'd only need a paper bag over your face when this box is needed :)
