This catalogue entry records a 1988 Jaguar XJS Convertible Arctic Blue in blue, a convertible, from the 1980s.

1980s on screen
An eighties car outside a home or workplace can carry the date unobtrusively, while the people arriving explain why it belongs in that particular scene. Costume and small carried props can identify the working day, while the vehicle supplies a separate cue to the period without telling the audience who a character is. Conversations at the kerb can use an eighties vehicle as ordinary street furniture, leaving the emotional weight of the scene with the performers rather than the object.
Possible roles in a production
Roof-up and roof-down scenes create different images, so the roof position needs agreeing early and recording for continuity across the convertible sequence. Entrances and exits deserve a rehearsal with the roof as it will appear on camera, so performer movement is planned around the actual arrangement. Weather can change the plan for an open-top scene, making a covered alternative worth discussing before the crew commits to the outdoor setup.
