Guest dangerousandy Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I would love some pics of the E Type. The XJ220 is nice though This 2+2 was outside my work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 i think the XJ 220 does look a bit dated now, it might look better with some decent wheels, why build a car like that and put on the crapest looking wheels in history , imagine the design team when they rolled the wheels out "yeah they look great" wtf were they on drugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 *resurection* Just watching an old episode of Top Gear on the legendary channel that is "Dave". It was from a few years ago when they were comparing the super cars of the 80s (XJ220, McLaren F1, F40) to the supercars of today (Porsche GT, Enzo). Anyway i thought i recognised the number plate on the XJ220 from this thread and indeed it is the same. So the car you photo'd actually starred on TG whipping an Enzo, GT, Zonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannysupratt Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 wow i love that, not often you get to see one of them in the flesh, Didnt they end up selling them with a 3.0 v6 twin turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yeah thanks guys, thanks a bunch. Now my girlfriend wants one (and always has done). We saw an XJ220 in matt black at the pre-race party for the ill-fated Gumball 3000 last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franko Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well as people say, wheels make a car and they are almost as bad as Ford Pepperpot Alloys. Its not exactly a DB7 now is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well as people say, wheels make a car and they are almost as bad as Ford Pepperpot Alloys. Its not exactly a DB7 now is it? True!! If I had 150K to buy one then I would change the wheels. That aside, it's a beautiful machine. As is the DB7 & DB9. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 To be fair i don't think there are many cars that have had a computer game solely named after them. Amazing piece of engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 This 2+2 was outside my work Andy, I've got to say that I much prefer the supe (I presume it's yours) in your picture to the E-Type. I'll probably get shot down for saying this but E-types just don't do it for me. They're a piece of classic British automotive history and very iconic, but I don't think they look that nice. The windscreen looks too vertical and bonnet too long for the height/depth of the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 XJ220 fugly ... yuck. Same i dont really like the looks of it Have you actually seen one, in the flesh so to speak? I suspect you'd change your mind. There's just something about it close up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
