It made me cross that the set decorators/prop management hadn't bothered to hire a Mk 1 - a much more convincing choice, especially as the car was required to look down-at-rims in later scenes. As I recall, the Mk II used was a 2.4 (DVLA records will doubtless confirm).

So no Jag record traceable now. 2.4 usually had horn grilles so this would probably be ID'd as a 3.4, although fogs were optional on 2.4. If you know the car was 2.4, then can be added.

Sunbar ◊ 2016-04-13 10:27	Agreed, dsl. No good close-up views of the boot; but the Bedford CAZ ambulance and others in the night-time opening sequence being the best. However could find no engine size badge on the boot. edit: further captures added... -- Last edit: 2016-04-13 11:11:28
