Shown in the introduction to Austin Powers 3: Goldmember, this warmed-over Jag was the first car to appear in an Austin Powers movie that featured more than a unique paint job. Among other things, the rear bulletproof screen and remote call features marked this as a truly Bond-inspired car.

The model is a pretty simple repaint of Maisto's 1/24 XK8 offering. Because the lines of the new Jaguar are much cleaner than those of the older XK-E, I was able to recreate the Union Jack paint job using custom made decals over a solid coat of Blue Angel Blue. The car's interior was painted black and detailed to match the AP prototype, and once finished the car was reassembled and detailed using Bare Metal Foil and custom-made license plates.
