The Jaguar - "Coke in stock" (1958)
Having gone with Captain Haddock to the hotel where General Alcazar is staying in order to return the wallet he had lost almost under his eyes a few hours earlier, Tintin sees him in the company of an individual whose past he knows too well not to decide immediately to follow him. Thus, after taking a taxi in the wake of the luxurious sedan in which the general's interlocutor has boarded, the young man soon finds himself in the suburbs of the city... The luxurious sedan in question is a Jaguar 2.4 or 3.4 liter.
