Supposedly Ian Ogilvy wasn't too keen on the XJS as the air conditioning had a habit of leaking cold water over his feet when turning sharply.

From the DVD box set booklet, it looks as if there were three different cars used, all of which had slight differences. Looks like it is just the one car pictured here (mainly used in scenes filmed in Britain) but there was also one used in Italy, and another in France.

http://www.saint.org/jaguar.htm - "The original Saint's Jaguar supplied directly from the factory was originally registered as PWK 530R and was marked as XJ27 (aka XJS) test vehicle that BL had borrowed previously to modify the engine and suspension..." chassis #2W 1138 and the 4th manual built (in August 75). Car still survives after lengthy storage and no trace of PWK 530R (issued late 76) on check sites, but likely to be re-registered on unknown number. Also:
"Primary Car (PWK 530R): Tan Interior/Factory steel sunroof/Manual Gearbox/Silver B-posts/Bullet type mirrors; used in 13 episodes: 2,4,6,7,8,10,12,14,15,16,20, & 24
Alternate 1: Black Interior/Jaguar "Leaper" ornament fitted to rear of bonnet (not a factory installation on any XJS)/Automatic transmission/Black B-post/Bullet mirrors/"Supercover" Warranty services window sticker; used in 6 episodes: 1,5,13,19,21, & 22
Alternate 2: Tan Interior/Automatic transmission/Black B-posts/Non adjustable mirrors; used in 7 episodes: 6,7,8,10,15,16, & 24." 2nd and 3rd cars were dealer-sourced.
