But can it travel at light speed? Harrison Ford hits the road in his vintage 1955 Jaguar...

It’s not as fast as the Millennium Falcon, but Harrison Ford’s latest vehicle was no less impressive when he hit the road for a spin on Tuesday. The 71-year-old actor was behind the wheel of his vintage 1955 Jaguar XK 140, and he appeared keen to show young son Liam his prodigious driving skills during a day out in Brentwood, California. With the top down, Ford’s grey thatch of hair was clearly visible as he took a picturesque coastal drive, with Liam quietly seated beside him.

But while its heavy price-tag puts it out of reach for many, the five-figure sum is likely to be a snip for Ford, whose hugely successful career once placed him amongst Hollywood’s biggest earners.

Indeed, Forbes magazine placed him at the top of their highest earning actors list in 2009 after his reprisal of archaeologist Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull reportedly won him a $65 million payday. The car – which can reach speeds of up to 125 miles per hour – was manufactured by Jaguar between 1954 and 1957, with current valuations pricing it an approximately £94,250 ($15,000).
