Unhappy 98-03 XJ-Series pulverized!!

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! I can't believe they used a 98-03 XJ-Series in the Green Hornet movie only to have it pulverized. Same color as my car too. Sniff......

the biggest company in Hollywood to build movie cars put small block Ford engines and drive trains in everything they build, including the James Bond Jaguar cars and others. They useally buy a salvage or in the case back with the Dukes of Hazard Chargers.....They or another company back then was buying Chargers from owners and anyone they could get since they where running out of them..Now that was a shame cause there are not that many

well then it was probably some type of 98 or 99 XJ with a bad water pump and timing chain failure that they bought for $2000 and let it end it's life in a moment of movie fame

If you are talking about the Jag that gets crushed, I think its a X300 XJ6 b/c of the smoked tail lights. Thank God.


At least the Jag looks like a focal point. I saw a similar vintage BMW E34 5 series blow up in the background as a generic traffic car in the trailer.

Nice!!!! Awesome shot of the pre-pulverization. Either way, sad to see a Jag get creamed.

I thought it didn't quite look like my 98 VDP. By the way, nice photos on your Jag! Do you know where I can get a British grill badge like yours? Very nice accessory!!!!
