Steed's Jaguar XJ 12 Coupe
Site with many Broadspeed photos and they mention John Steed.
Well, Steed maybe an excellent driver (as seen in Invasion of the Earthmen and Death's Door), but he isn't an excellent parker.
"I never believed in rules". (Steed in The Danger Makers)
2. 1971 Range Rover, with licence plate TXC 922 J.
John Steed's green 1971 Range Rover in Target!
Steed destroyed the car on purpose to prevent the launch of a rocket in Obsession.
Rovers
1. A yellow Rover 3500 SD1 Automatic with the licence plate MOC 229 P.
It's the first car of Steed that appears in The New Avengers in The Eagle's Nest.
During The New Avengers Steed is not longer driving any vintage cars, but a powerful Jaguar and two Rovers.
Nevertheless he still owned a vintage Bentley, as the car gets destroyed by a bomb in Dead Men Are Dangerous.
The Jaguar and the Rover 3500 SD 1 can be seen in his garage in Hostage, a 1971 Range Rover stands in another garage in Cat Amongst the Pigeons. Steed is driving a few other cars during the series, but these three cars belong to him.
