I think I'd rather have the XJ220. At least when I get bored of it I could sell it and get some money back for the time.

If I weren't happily married I'd go for the women. As things stand, I'll plump for the car as I'd be able to flog it to one of the crazy collectors here.
I can't fathom the love for XJ220s, aside from misplaced national pride.
All I see in them is dodgy early-90s British Ford quality.
*shudder*
It is kind of the example of "lowered expectations" in the early 90's....went from V12 to V6, only reached 212mph...oh and a lightly modified MR2 with less than 500hp went 218 mph around the same timeframeOriginally Posted by Rare White Ape
Yeah, but I do think they're beautiful, I know not everyone does.
It's probably a lot nostalgia too. I was falling in love with cars right around the time it came out.
If I'm pulling from this category can I just have a Ford GT90 Concept? kthx.
You'd go for a Ford????!!
That's a big surprise to me.
Personally I could chase out a lot of other vehicles for 500k.
If I'd have to go car AND Jaguar... then XJR-15, rather. In metallic british racing green, obviously.

The comical story of both cars, and the hilarious one about the XJR-15s gone racing!
EDIT: According to this highlights video of the XJR-15 series race at Monaco in 91 some of the facts in the article are exaggeration, since only a car spun at the chicane after the tunnel instead of the plethora of accidents I was expecting

Yeah, I'd take the XJR-15 too probably.
