Can't guarantee it, no.
Did the usual checks and nothing showed up but if you point me in the direction of it I can change the picture?

[DeAutogids]

It's just that the picture is familiar...

Think I know the car you're thinking of, but it's not it!

Disregard it for now then

This is a custom built Jag XKE that was intended to be used in a 70's era James Bond movie. It was never used and ended up in the Bob Butts movie car collection. It was up for sale a couple of years ago.

Jaguar XKE Bond Custom. The car was built for the James Bond film, but was not used.

Yes.  These are just too easy for you, but you only have one Rookie puzzle left to identify before your promotion!

This is a repost.

Searching for "jaguar bond" gives no results.  But "xke bond" finds it.  Search results like this, are why so many reposts keep appearing.

"Jaguar Bond" is exactly what I searched for..  And of course got the same result you did, i.e. nothing.
Still, not sure there's any excuse for re-posting one's own puzzles...!
