Harrison Ford takes his beautiful vintage Jaguar for a spin
Harrison Ford out with his iconic car - not the Millennium Falcon
IT MAY not be the Millennium Falcon but Harrison Ford's real-life vehicle is still pretty impressive.
 
The Star Wars actor filled up his vintage 1955 Jaguar XK 140 today near his home in Brentwood, California.
The 73-year-old, who broke his pelvis in a plane crash in March, was enjoying his convertible in the sunshine.
The iconic car, which reaches speeds of 125 miles per hour, is currently valued at almost £100,000.
 
This is a far sight less, however, than a C-Type that sold last week for £8.4million, becoming the most expensive British car ever sold publicly.
It was the second of three lightweight sports cars built for the 1953 motorsport season.
Peter Whitehead and Ian Stewart drove the car to fourth place at Le Mans.
The auction house said the car "remains one of the rarest and significant race cars of that period, let alone one of the most timelessly beautiful sports cars ever designed".
