  We report the serendipitous discovery of an object, UVQS J060819.93-715737.4,
with a spectrum dominated by extremely intense, narrow C II emission lines. The
spectrum is similar to those of the very rare, late-type [WC11] low-mass
Wolf-Rayet stars. Despite the recognition of these stars as a distinct class
decades ago, there remains barely a handful of Galactic members, all of which
are also planetary-nebula central stars. Although no obvious surrounding
nebulosity is present in J0608, [O II], [N II], and [S II] emission suggest the
presence of an inconspicuous, low-excitation nebula. There is low-amplitude
incoherent photometric variability on timescales of days to years, as well as
numerous prominent P Cygni profiles, implying mass loss. There are indications
of a binary companion. The star is located on the outskirts of the LMC, and the
observed radial velocity (~250 km/s) and proper motion strongly suggest
membership. If indeed an LMC member, this is the first extragalactic late [WC]
star, and the first with an accurately determined luminosity, as the Galactic
examples are too distant for precise parallax determinations. A high-quality,
broad-coverage spectrum of the prototype of the late [WC] class, CPD -56 8032,
is also presented. We discuss different excitation mechanisms capable of
producing the great strength of the C II emission. Numerous autoionizing levels
of C II are definitely populated by processes other than dielectronic
recombination. Despite the spectacular emission spectra, observational
selection makes objects such as these difficult to discover. Members of the
[WC11] class may in fact be considerably more common than the handful of
previously known late [WC] stars.
