Tyson and other

Tyson's car was used and was purchased through a Ferrari broker then to Vik K. of Platinum motors. This was before the XJ220 was legal under S&D. Tyson paid twice what the seller paid, or so it goes. One day Tyson backed his XJ220 into a rental vehicle belonging to a reporter for the Daily News of London. He also got a little out of sorts (reporter still has both ears). Turned out Tyson's car had Platinum's plates. NV-DOT found out, car was taken. Car was illegaly here.

Last count there were over 50 XJ220s in the States.
