It can be, it may not be now is what I meant. In 2018 car will be 25yo which will make entry of all XJ220 types from overseas easy .

That's excellent - I saw a few pics on Instagram a couple of days ago and got really excited. Great to see it like this again! >8^) ER
I realize the XJ220S is a more rare breed than the "standard" XJ220 - what is the current market value on a standard XJ220? Really awesome looking cars - I liked them when introduced, but think they aged wonderfully. I love the look, really unique.
The standard XJ220s seem to be ticking upwards in price finally. The one in the Pinnacle Portfolio auction back in August nearly made $500K. 1993 Jaguar XJ220 | Monterey 2015 | RM Sotheby's >8^) ER
Thanks Alan, if you happen to make it over to the U.S. or if i bring it back over to the UK we'll make it happen !
I so want to see this and, even more so, your XJR-15. Such a timeless design and the S model adds an air of aggressiveness that is just beyond words. Are you able to bring the XJR to C&C?
Was reading about Don Law somewhere these days and thought about this car. I remember reading about it here when you bought it. Great to see it's in ship shape! Same can be said about bmwracer's blue car! I love these, and I'm glad they are in the hands of people who do, too!
When you take the car apart, you realize what a work of art it is, aircraft technology, way ahead of it's time. No wonder they cost so much new
This. I happened to be at Ferrari of Atlanta when they were doing a refresh on a silver XJ-220 they sold on consignment. The entire back half of the car was torn down and the amount of engineering in a car of this era was astounding.
Hi Joe, the XJR-15 is going through a fine tooth fettling to the same standard as the XJ220S and will be ready this spring. Hope to have it here by April.
The XJR-15 was built up around a centralized carbon fiber monocoque. Here are some photos taken during a recent restoration by Bespoke Motor Cars/Jordan Roddy Engineering in Victoria, Australia. >8^) ER Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Great pics Erik ! As you know, tub is shared with the LeMans winning XJR-9 tub. Body was designed by Peter Stevens who later left TWR to join McLaren and pen the F1.
Thanks for the very interesting thread! The 220 made a huge impression on my young brain when it came out. I saw the concept car at a design conference in Coventry back around 1989, and from it I just assumed all production XJ220's were the same V12 drivetrain. But here I am, and learned something new today! - Art
Would love to see all of the cars returned to their original spec and presented somehow. Cheers for the pictures guys, I'm eternally jealous.
