The Grantchester actor posed for a photo with his co-star, a SS Mark 5 Jaguar named ‘Jimmy Jag’ by his owner, James Algar from Littlehampton. The car was used as an action vehicle for the series which was filmed last year, and it also appeared in Agatha Christie’s Marple, filmed in 2013. James, 78, has had the car for 50 years and started supplying it for television after meeting the vehicle provider for Downton Abbey.
