As an automotive photographer there are some older cars that really get your juices flowing. When I got asked to shoot a Jaguar XJ220 I couldn't have been more happier. This amazing example has less then 300 miles on the clock!
Did you know the Jaguar XJ220 was the fastest production car in 1992 with a speed of 213 mph. And despite its huge size (it really is massive when close up) Jaguar said an XJ220 prototype managed a time around the Nürburgring of 7:46.36, That's fast today, think how fast that sounded back in 1991!
It was only produced for 2 years with collaboration from automotive specialises Tom Walkinshaw Racing. A small production run of around 275 cars were built and on sale at the bargain price of £470,000 back then!
