Jaguar XJ220....

I have lusted after this car since it came out. Maybe it is just me but, I would take this over any modern day (or former) exotic period. I don't think that I have ever seen a thread (Cars and Coffee/Meet up type) where there has been one.

I love this car but I've seen one for sale in Germany for a much cheaper price but has more miles on it.

are you referring to the interior or dynamics?

I remember visiting the RM Auto Cars Workshop back in the early 2000's and seeing a orig. testa-rossa, cobra and d-type in the shop. I then walked into their museum and seeing 14 (yes fourteen) XJ220's sitting in a row.

This used to be my all-time favorite car when I was a kid... With some upgraded wheels it'd probably still look pretty modern.

This particular one is in Dallas, I wonder if I could go see it just to see it. I haven't seen one in real life to this day.

SupercarWeekend is an unknown quantity at this point


From Supercar Weekend 2008

Always thought this was such a historically significant car. It made such a statement when it was originally released, a true Supercar.

btw for those who have never seen one in person, it is HUGE. I have seen probably 10 of them and am still shocked every time I see one by how big they are. There was a special edition faster one (i forget the name) that is even bigger!
