Ohh mannn, that was painfull to watch... it hurt my soul... I have the same model, but Jaguar XJ6 4.2 series 2 for 30 years now... Bought and restored it as my first car when I was 21.... Lots of blood, sweat and tears went in the resto, so Its pretty much my baby, looking and driving awesome! I almost have the same colour, so this was not fun to watch for me... And even when overtaking the lorry, it still looked sexy imo with that beautiful bonnet style... This movie was from 87 and I bought mine in 93... Indeed they werent valuable then. Many ended their existence on demolishing races... which was painfully back then for me even hearing that 😯😄 I love the looks and it drives so smooth. And.... in 30 years only failed 1 time on starting, beacause of a really small part. Overhauling makes it more reliable I guess....

[@bobcomment8589]

Poor Jaguar

[@isambardchisilwitt1232]

It looks like at least two Jag/Daimler's were used as the wheels keep changing from alloys to steel wheels minus hub caps.

[@gosportjamie]

+Isambard Chisilwitt I suspect the changes in wheels are because one standard Daimler was used for the more close-up scenes, and for the wider-angle serious driving or stunt scenes a second car, heavily modified by the stuntman with, often, American underpinnings with a big V8, manual box and live rear axle, hence the different rims, which look like Pontiac Firebird steel wheels. A lot of the old, very knackered Jags and Daimlers bought for film/stunt work were too mechanically temperamental to be good for much, in those days they very often only ended up as junk because of serious mechanical problems. There might have been a third car, the stripped car that went into the pond looked more silver than gold to me. There's a good chance the modified car appeared in more than one chase scene or film before it was done, with the American parts under them, they were extremely strong...

[@Witheredgoogie]

@@gosportjamie That is a 1976/77 registration and the film was made in the 70s. it would have handled like a pig with a cast iron V8 and not gone around corners LOL....and the definitive live rear axle was on the Jag or Daimlers anyway.

[@LaurieWilliams-lk8fc]

@@Witheredgoogie Not live axles. Unequal length wishbones.

[@matthewjenkins1161]

@@gosportjamie I doubt that as good examples went for peanuts and who needs a Yank V8, when Jag's V12 is already in it? American V8s of that era were incredibly inefficient, with most having power to capacity ratios lower than European pre-WW2 cars.

[@decentman3181]

Fortunately, Ford saved Jaguar a few years later, thank goodness, bringing the car back up to its much-deserved marque brand.
