Well, gotta say the one she WAS driving (308) is better looking than current one! Speaking of famous...anyone know year/model of XJ in "Sprectre"??? The supercar in car chase with DB10 is an experimental design exercise; XC75 or something. Not for production...yet. BUT, the one I was interested was the black XJ that got "T-Boned." I forget who was in it. Maybe Q. In any case, I could not find on any website about "Cars in Movies." OH, and is an '03 XJR classed as "Long Wheelbase??"

No, XJRs are short wheelbase. To get long wheelbase with the supercharger, you would have to get a Vanden Plas Supercharged, or Super V8 (same car, different years).

It's an XJR (X350), probably 2004-06 based on its mesh grill and 19" alloy wheel.
The long-wheelbase "L" was introduced in 2005. I love mine --
