I was just at Oulton Park for the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) meetings today and I was walking through the paddock between races and guess what I saw?
One of the five Jaguar XJ220S cars!!! I regret not taking a camera to take a photo, but it was the exact one pictured above, in yellow.
Actually, this has been a pretty awesome Jaguar day, seeing a couple of Jaguar's racing in the classic touring cars, then seeing at least 3 brand new XK Coupe's and one XK soft top and then the new XF as well as that baby^.
On top of all that, I had the news of passing my first year at university when I got home, what a brilliant day!
I've seen a dark blue one at a Rolls dealer in Newport Beach. It wasnt for sale though, only on display. They also had the only Spyker i have ever seen. My friend showed me a picture of a red XJ220S at a meuseum he went to.
There was one at a local car show on Sunday. This one had done 156 miles from new. The milage shot was a bit rubbish because it was on the end of my arm and I was starting to shake - not because of the car, but because I hadn't had any breakfast.
There was one for sale in a then-Mercedes dealership in Edinburgh about 6 years ago. Delivery mileage, left-hooker. From memory they wanted an even 200 for it.
I was overtaken by one in the dead of night on the M6. About 4am, in 1992. There was me, some trucks, and this thing doing a bajillion miles an hour. Seriously, I saw it in my mirror as lights on the horizon, then it passed me, then it was gone. Recognised it from the rear lights.
tho i havnt been in there recently
Holy crap! I was there too, and I'm sure I have a pic (a terrible one) of the car somewhere too...
where was that?
