TNA Jaguar

Steed owned a "Big Cat", a green Jaguar XJ12 Coupe 5.3 litre, an automatic model.

It was a road-going replica of a Jaguar Broadspeed car.

Its licence plate is NWK 60P.

The first appearance of the car is in House of Cards.

Steed does not longer drive any vintage cars during The New Avengers. He now owns a powerful Jaguar and two Rovers.
Nevertheless, he still kept one of his beloved vintage Bentleys, but unfortunately, the car got destroyed by a bomb in Dead Men Are Dangerous.

One can see the Jaguar and the Rover 3500 SD 1 inside Steed's garage in Hostage; a 1971 Range Rover stands in another garage in Cat Amongst the Pigeons. Steed also drove a few other cars during the series, but these three vehicles belong to him.

In August 2015 new information about Steed's 1976 Jaguar XJ12 C was published.
The car was in an auction of classic-auctions.com. The website informed that the auction would take place on 14th October 2015. Besides several photos of the car in its current state several details about the car got published:
