For those observant fans out there, it will have become obvious that there is something very different about this year's Jaguar R3.
It could even be described as having a touch of Hollywood about it - for nestling on its British racing green wing mirrors is the trademark 007 James Bond logo.

This is due to a tie-up with the new Bond film, due for release at the end of this year, which will see the British spy racing around in several of Jaguar and Ford's Premier Automotive Group's (PAG) finest products.

There is even talk that Bond could appear in a formula1 car, Jaguar Racing of course, for the first time in his history.

The main details are being kept under wraps, waiting for the agreed release date of the Monaco Grand Prix, but it looks like Jaguar has taken a step into an area where no other team has ventured before.

Can you believe that? Poor Zencat just can't win.

Am I right in suggesting that the Jaguar badbe will carry a 007 as a special edition? Or is this just on the Formula One car, eye a one off.

Hmm.

Jaguar is owned by Ford which owns Aston Martin. Might just be cross-product promotion.

Similar thing happened in 1995 when the BMW 3 series British Touring Cars had "GoldenEye" plastered on them.
