They said in the episode that the car was blue when it was used as the getaway car in the robbery as well as being a particular shade of blue that was said to be used on British cars that were built up to 1968... that and they mentioned that the car was involved in a few rather nasty accidents, these included: . Crashing into a lamppost while making the getaway at 40 MPH (64 Km/h) from the warehouse where the robbery occurred, the result was damage on the front of the quarter panel on the passenger's side. . Being crashed into by a BMW, the result was extensive damage to the rear. They even mentioned that some time after the robbery and the repairs to front, the car was painted silver and then after the repairs to the rear after the accident with the BMW, the car was then painted to black. And this vehicle is a perfect fit for villains, in the 1960s, the Jaguar S-Type and the other Jaguar models, the Mark II and the Mark X were the perfect vehicles of choice for British villains to use in robberies as it was fast enough to make a getaway from the scene of the crime and if necessary, to flee from the British police. As a result, the British Police started to add the Jaguar S-Type to their fleet of marked and unmarked police vehicles to match the speed of the Jaguars used by the criminals. Even in the 1970s when the British bank robbers started to use the Ford Transit Van, the S-Type were still being used by old villains to make their escape from the police. -- Last edit: 2022-08-23 17:43:03
