Mr White also drove an X350 (XJ8) in Casino Royale. Le Chiffre and his henchmen are also seen in an XJR (kidnapping Vesper). So it has actually been a Bond car for quite some time. Too bad it gets wrecked in the trailer ![]() |

I wondered why they were using an older Jag, then the Hilux smashes it into the wall, and my question was answered. A terrible waste of such a fine machine, though. -- Last edit: 2016-05-14 23:20:31 |

Please change name to: 2004 Jaguar XJR It has the distinctive XJR grille: Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" |

Mesh grille was also on the Sport and Sport Premium trim for this shape. I'd need a clearer view of the side but this might be a 2006 or 2007 model by what can be seen at the main image and forth thumb. |

It's a 2006 Jaguar XJ Sport Premium 2.7 TDVI. The main "hero" car (out of 6) that was used for filming was auctioned off in 2017, giving us the full details of the car. Apparently, 4 cars were crashed into, one was outfitted with a rollcage and exterior cameras, leaving 1 complete car to be sold. https://www.jamesbondlifestyle.com/news/screen-used-jaguar-xj-spectre-sale |

Yes, in any production, especially a big budget production, if a prominent character is using an older vehicle, the handwriting is on the wall. I've only seen this film once, but when I saw the photo here, I expected its imminent demise. This car was nearly 10 years old at the time of filming, resale almost nil, and maybe only had good looks for filming. As much as I am a Jaguar afficianado, I have become numb to Jaguar deaths on screen. It's been a regular occurrence since the 1970s. I only feel discomfort at something new and something rare. Honestly, I have more trouble watching the crushing of the "new" Lincoln Continental in Goldfinger. But as long as it is not for comedy sake or some absurd situation, I find it more acceptable. Death with dignity. |
