Plates that
represent a car model is a safe way to guarantee a return on investment, if spelled
correctly & depending on the specific car. Typically with a High-end car it will
drive a higher price tag when it comes to the plates. Fortunately for this
owner he has a very special car to match his unique set of plates, It’s a winner.
Jaguar has
a rich motorsport heritage, so when the time came during the 1980’s to build a
road car to celebrate this, it needed to be something special. The Jaguar XJ220
began as a classic ‘after hours project’ by engineers and designers who thought
that there was a bit of a gap between the current road car offerings and what
was being raced. The XJ220 concept was finished in the early hours of 18
October 1998 – that very day the car was showcased at the British International
motor show. The Jaguar XJ220 was named in a similar fashion to the legendary
Jaguar XK120 – the 220 in its name relates to the cars intended top speed of
220mph. When revealed to the public during the International motor show the
Jaguar XJ220 Immediately became a star attraction. Jaguar had absolutely no intention
of selling the XJ220, but when a number of enthusiasts presented bank cheques,
attitudes changed. The flagship Jaguar might have faced an up-hill battle when
brand new, but today the car is a cult classic. Retrospective Road tests highlight
that the XJ220 is an incredible piece of engineering. Its rarity, historical relevance
and troubled past all make the XJ220 a collector’s car.
