[Roger]

I was trying to remember which type it was, I'm thinking it was an X Type but I stand to be corrected

I think it was an XJ but I could be wrong...

The X-Type does look very similar but I think you're right! When I think about it can't imagine Toby driving a X-Type as it was effectively a rebadged Ford Mondeo !

Apologies again but has the Morris "Miggy" Minor in Magic and the Morris Minor been mentioned , I should have read my hub caps to check but sadly I have alloy wheels on the current car

Is that arguably the worst car used in the series?, I remember Jasper Carrott making jokes about that the Velox & Viva.

On the subject of Toby's car this picture here is definitely an X-Type, it's very difficult to distinguish from the XJ as the bonnet creases are almost identical. But as usual Roger is probably correct, the headlights are rounder on the XJ which I think points to it being an XJ?
