Three legends from three different eras. Although I grew up with a silver 959 on one of my bedroom's walls - next to a Jag XJ220 and a green Kawasaki - if I could choose only one it would have to be the CarreraGT. Martini stripes are very sensual but hard

Ahh, brings back so many memories.

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

This is a bittersweet story

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

Yes - from that site I see this

“Some thirteen and a half inches (345mm) shorter overall than the XKR, the XK180 was styled in the Jaguar Styling Department under the eye of the Company's Director of Styling Geoff Lawson. The lines of the car were the work of Keith Helfet, a Senior Desi

Yes, precisely.

The XJ220 is something so rare that I don't even recall having seen one in person yet. Having not seen one with a vivid memory of it intact, along with the high costs of securing one, it might as well be an urban myth! The Dufour Sonnerie and Duality on t

Believe it or not, but they get crowded sometimes too!

Canepa does have space issues, they simply don't have enough space to store all their cars. Often times, cars are in the way and they can't do everything they need to do. Next time I'm going to offer them parking at my home... If that Jaguar XJ220 wants t

At least your Dom Perignon bottle has something in it!

Because my Dom Perignon bottle is empty! And if I were to refill it with something, it'd probably be beer at this point, because the only thing chilled and bubbly is the non-alcoholic beer in the house. Jaguars are not the most sporty. But THERE IS someth

Speed listing...cars

Like Speed Dating, don't ask too many questions, don't think too much, you can always revise your thoughts based on intuition later, when you've had time to digest it. Don't explain, don't justify (again, can do that later) just list. What are your 10 all
