I am seriously interested, but this one may be out of my (wife's) price bracket, PM me details if it's for sale please. (not really interested in the plate, would prefer age related!)

By the way why does the badge on the XM change from being in the centre to on the nearside during the car chase? i expect it's been covered before.
Yes, the badge has been noticed before here in FCF :) Two different XM models/cars were used. Car chase can really be hardware consuming.

A lovely XM in front of a hotel in Nice, before pursuit begins.

(Note that they have used a different XM during pursuit, same number plates. :wink: )

In the Inbetweeners movie no 1.

There is a red Peugeot 405 estate which appears near the start of the film.

As the camera flies drone like down a suburban street, it ends up in a scene with Jay at his house.

So as the camera nears the end of a long tracking shot, it reveals the car on the front driveway of the house it subsequently enters.
