The Peter Yates film Robbery has a pretty good chase scene. 

 

You can see the whole thing here, from about 10:40.

I wanted to post the New Avengers video showing Steeds Jaguar on a race track but Youtube won't let me embed that one.

So go to Youtube & put in -  the new avengers 3 handed game.

Typically daft but god that Jag is cool !!!

Bit of a weird paring this for a car chase

Ollie Reed & Ian MacShane  in an Austin Champ & Hillman Avenger. 1972 Sitting Target.

Decent apart from some dismal back projection.

Surprisingly, the Mini hasn't featured as much as we might think.  Jaguar, if you add together the mk2, S-Type and maybe XJ6, has done much better.

Not disputing the lack of Mini chases from the continent but did find this Innocenti Mini giving it some. 

Sorry about lack of sound. Didn't realise as posted at work.

Thanks for posting this. Great chase, although the speeding up does spoil part of it. Terrible continuity fail when the 2-door changes to a 4-door and back again. One of my all time favourite chases.

As I was saying about Jags!  Yes, Robbery is a splendid chase, and is widely believed to be what secured Yates the job on Bullitt.

Steve McQueen wanted Peter Yates.

Yates initially said no because he didn’t want to be known as “the car chase guy”.

Thankfully he changed his mind.

TBH I always enjoyed the build-up to the Bullitt chase more than the chase itself.

Just finished watching this on Netflix. To most people it's a low-budget flick great for wasting 90 minutes. But it is an action film with Renault 21 as a plot point so surely it would get an approval here.

No video, but Terry's Capri in Minder keeps up with the local villenary well. In the episode where Terry gets his hand smashed and Arthur borrows Mike Reid you hear the Jag getting a good pounding too.

The Sweeney, 'May' its called...

Hammer the F out of a jag, chasing the boy - on his toes

So that’s how the recently roffled CX got that way.
