*gulp* XJ220 Racer....

[Jim Prower]

Is it authentic? I mean...still...even if not....wow...

 

[Jay.]

With a sound like that it's probably a genuine racer.

This guy's obviously got a fair bit of cash to be able to own

a Jag XJ220 Racer and a Vector W8.

 

[Barracuda]

Vector..... oh god *faints*

 

[Jim Prower]

Yeah...forgot that was there, too.

 

[Jay.]

Vector..... oh god *faints*

Yeah, I know.
They're not that great and they're damn ugly, even if they are fast,
but they still cost FIVE times more than I earn in a year.

 

[ND4SPD]

Yeah, I know.
They're not that great and they're damn ugly, even if they are fast,
but they still cost FIVE times more than I earn in a year.

They also have that stupid 3 speed auto....Amazing sounding Jaguar though.

 

[Barracuda]

Yeah, I know.
They're not that great and they're damn ugly, even if they are fast,
but they still cost FIVE times more than I earn in a year.

I meant it more as that I LOVE the vector.

The jaguar on the other hand is also very cool.

I can't remember if that home is in Monaco, but I can tell you from personal experience, the car is indeed, authentic.

The Jaguar's been around Monaco for quite a long time, as I recall. I last remember seeing it right outside the building where the Top Marques show is held a couple years ago. I've never seen the Vector though.

When/where did it race?

 

[McLaren]

When/where did it race?

I think it was British GP series that used to run with the F40s, F1 GTRs, and Speed Twelves.

 

[Jim Prower]

aha. Huh. were these modified from stock road cars?

 

[McLaren]

The XJ220s pretty much were, I believe. TWR made about 20 that are exactly like this one, but street legal.

 

[Jim Prower]

Huh. Didn't think Jaguar actually had an official effort, so I guess that was left to the privateers.

 

[Tornado]

When/where did it race?

I believe it was called BRDC Racing Championship, though that looks essentially the same as the XJ220C, which also raced at Le Mans.
