ARe you insane it spoils the looks of this lovely coupe , not only that the big wheels and flared arches damage the frame and make certain manouvers impossible to film without trickery , stuff like wheelspin had to be faked , but its the looks what are spoiled the most .
@@philipchurchill6508quite sane, and a longtime admirer of the standard XJC - in fact an old neighbour had a Daimler Double Six Coupe, which was simply stunning. But, I still like Steed’s XJC - it was after all a spiritual successor to his Bentley Blower - another race derived British car. Sadly by the mid-70s Bentley didn’t make sporting cars anymore, so I suppose the production company thought this was a suitable equivalent. As for the handling - it was a TV show - of course it’s faked. Do you you really think The Duke’s Of Hazzard or The Bandit successfully survived all those jumps when they filmed those shows?
@britstarfan and you've got to admire the use of the indicator at the end .At one point I'm sure he was looking up to see what the speed limit was. And nice use of the rear view mirror throughout.

I love it. Loved that car. Imagine when they found that under sheets in that barn . Where is she now in 2021 ? I heard Clasic Car did a thorough resto.
@@stevieboymkii Yes, you're probably right. That Jaguar XJC was a beast though, and a one off (well strictly speaking there were 2 made, the car in this clip, plus a stripped out stunt car, sadly broken up after production of the programme finished). Apparently, it was a real handful to drive, even for the stuntmen. It still exists by the way, although was in a terrible condition a few years back, but sold at auction for £60,000 odd. Hopefully well on it's way to its former glory by now.
@britstarfan Strange... mine never did. Its a sure sign of shot radius arm bushes if they do that... the basic design of IRS setup on the Jaguars is still being used on Aston Martins today.
We went to buy this very car in the 80s ! We had a black jaguar xj6 coupe and wanted another one for my brother.. they were fetching about £2500 in the days ..we saw this advertised at a garage in Dudley and thought it was a good buy for £1500..turns out it was £15000!! In them days ..the guy said it was owned by steed from avengers and it had a plate on it I think it was STD 1 something.. we kicked some tyres and came back empty hand.. it was after that I saw it on tv :. Wish we had the money to buy it as it was a British icon ❤❤
Top avengers clip! just love the broadspeed xjc, mind you ive got an xj12 twr and it sounds a lot different to the broadspeed. was it a manual xj6c they used for this clip?
This Jag and the broadspeed jags were the best looking XJs ever. Here's the difficult choice-- steeds jaguar or an E type lightweight? Decisions, decisions.

Oddly, I do not remember this scene. Pretty awful. Steed would never act this way, the Jag was the worst of the decisions made for the reboot. It made him look ridiculous and was so out of character.
I love that Jag. ❤
That Jag is simply awesome! The standard XJC is beautiful, but that takes it to another level……….

Lol fantastic. I remember seeing that when I was a kid. Thought that clip was fantastic back then.
your that old [like me ] and you say "lol" , no way on this earth you would catch me saying such teenage stuff .
You can't beat Steed, in a Broadspeed Jag. We have documentary evidence, my good man!
Love the jag, total beastie, never looked so good back in the day

Ralph Broad and Broadspeed - the stuff of schoolboy's dreams!
I remember this year's ago fantastic clip enjoyed it then still do
Just mad skills that man Steed.

Err, Hi, I just broke all the laws of physics and outpaced an F1 car, but it's ok, because I did it in my Jaaaag
Probably an F2.

@@Rassilon72 Oh it's an awesome car no doubt - looks like it's taken inspiration from some of the racing versions.
Not a F1 car but a Lola T950 Formula 3000 car (Val Musetti)
@@Wlechija Formula 3000 wasn't around in the 70's. Looks like an F2 March. Whatever it was though, it would still outpace that 2 ton barge of an XJC

No, it actually was/is a Broadspeed XJ12c, the real deal.
@@kevinmanns7170 No it wasn’t, the body kit was real but the rest was standard.
Steed should've switched radio channels or checked his teeth in the pulldown vanity mirror during that lap.
Shame About That Jag being left to rot.
This Jag and the broadspeed jags were the best looking XJs ever. Here's the difficult choice-- steeds jaguar or an E type lightweight? Decisions, decisions.
The XJc lovely looks ruined with flared arches ,also big wheels and arches damage the body and make certain manouvers impossible .

Who was the actress?
They hired her for the 'camel hoof' she then went into 'crossroads' as Betty the cleaner. 😃
epic!
Looks like Steed changed the wheels during his lap too, looks like it’s wearing Wolfrace slot mags when he first pulls up in the pit lane.
Nope. They are a one off wide version of the Kent alloys.
Steeeeddddd
In his Jaaaaaaaagggg
and your point is ?

The G-55 AMG doesn’t just defy the laws of physics it pummels them leaving them doubled over wondering what just happened
I remember Patrick saying it was an ordinary Jaguar and that Jaguars are very ordinary cars. I don't agree btw.

Cue intese debates in school play grounds all over the country as to the plausibility of such a contest.
I used to enjoy this when I was a kid, but now I find it pathetic and simplistic.
Oddly, I do not remember this scene. Pretty awful. Steed would never act this way, the Jag was the worst of the decisions made for the reboot. It made him look ridiculous and was so out of character.
it was a pretty poor sequel, tb, lacking the quirky plots and Diana Rigg chemistry; the Jag coupe was the best part.
