Won't be long before some idiot calls it a TATA, without actually knowing anything about this car. ]]>Apr 18th 2008 2:34PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/
Supposedly that TWR sourced V6 is from the MG Metro Group B rally car.... which was just 3/4 of a Cosworth DFV. Apparently they vibrate a lot. ]]>Apr 18th 2008 2:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/Apr 19th 2008 8:19AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/Apr 19th 2008 5:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/
This is a real stunner...until you get to those HVAC controls - straight from a Taurus of the same vintage.

But this was Jag's second Zenith. They had gone back and re-conquered LeMans with the Silk Cut sponsored cars ( http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/Le_Mans-1989-06-11-photo.html ) and were really on the rebound.

Here's to hoping that the old cat still has some of its 9 lives left, because that are still the world's most beautiful cars. ]]>Apr 18th 2008 2:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/Apr 18th 2008 2:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/Apr 19th 2008 3:23AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/Apr 18th 2008 3:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/Apr 18th 2008 4:46PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/Apr 18th 2008 3:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/Apr 18th 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/Apr 18th 2008 3:15PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/
Also the stereo in the car is the stock alpine unit, it's not aftermarket. ]]>Apr 18th 2008 3:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/ebay-find-of-the-day-jaguar-xj220-in-lemans-blue/

Then I come home and take my Bugatti Veyron to the track that I own...
