I look back on the XJ220 with great fondness. I remember geeking out on it in the early 90's as a young teen and to this day I still have some of the original Jaguar press releases and official brochure of the car. It was also built not too far from where I grew up in the south of England. I don't ever recall seeing it in this colour though, which I do like the look of. Thanks for sharing and rekindling some of those memories Amanico!

The XJ220 was officially priced at £290,000 in 1989 but Jaguar lacked the resources to develop the car as originally envisaged so the 6.2-litre V12 was replaced with a twin-turbo 3.5-litre V6 engine. Then all-wheel drive would be replaced in favour of a l...
Exquisite!

I see the license plate says "Canepa" which is only about 50 kilometers away from me in Silicon Valley! www.watchprosite.com /

I'll hopefully be back in the UK (flight restrictions permitting) then and i'll gladly share. I've a ton of stored stuff which i've been meaning to digitize. In the meantime, some more XJ220 pics (from my phone) to drool over! ...
