I still think the XJ220 is the ugliest supercar ever made

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

The Red Room, a bit to much for the eyes, the room that is, not the shot. I never knew that a Rover Estate was produced if only two of them. Do you know why it did not make it to production?

A pimped up Ford T? Seriously? Cool! Grin

The frontlights and grille of the XJ220 looks a bit like an Aston... The rest seems a bit far-fetched... Never heared of that model before...

The Duisenberg looks awesome! Reminds me of those classics you see in mafia-movies... takes you back to the days that cars were art!

That Dusey is a doozy. Wink

That Rover reminds me of my father's early-70s Renault 16 (he was a Volvo/Renault dealer for a while)... blecch.

As the advert says:

"You should've gone to Specsavers*!" (*Other opticians are available)

IMO the finest "roadgoing" Jags are the XJR-15 and the XK180.

First 200 mph (217 mph top speed) super car. And if anyone saw the episode of Top Gear, in a drag race it trounced the Pagani Zonda (and I think the McLaren F1 and Ferrari F40 too) and this was with a V6 and not the planed V12. So imagine what it could have done if emission regulations had not strangled the project.

Without looking, didn't the F40 do 208mph? That would've been 1988 or 9...

egit: (201mph/1987 apparently...)

Not wrong there, I was lucky enough to stumble across an XK180 at Elvington back in 2005.

The oddest thing is, during year 9/10 at school (1995/6/7), I drew up a concept Jag based on the D-Type image...

...and when the XK180 appeared, it was nigh on identical! Grin

It's probably in my garage somewhere.
