This catalogue entry records a 1974 Daimler Double Six Jaguar XJ12 in blue from the 1970s.

The 1974 Daimler Double Six Jaguar XJ12 in blue is filed under Classic and Luxury / Executive, within the 1970s picture cars.

1970s on screen

Country roads can carry a seventies journey without much street dressing, but signs, fences and passing traffic still need reviewing through the intended camera position. The wider pavement matters in a seventies exterior, with signs and shopfronts providing period clues that remain visible after the car has left the frame. Work vehicles can give a seventies street practical activity, provided any visible company lettering has been chosen and cleared for the production rather than assumed.

Possible roles in a production

An executive arrival can be kept restrained, with a greeting at the building doing more to explain the visit than a showy introduction of the vehicle. If a scene includes a driver waiting outside, the entrances and handover should be rehearsed as performer action rather than promised as part of this listing. For formal wardrobe, entrances and exits need attention to coats and hems so the same movement can be repeated cleanly during dialogue coverage.
