Jaguar XJ220

[iceracer1]

I was just a little boy when I saw the Jaguar XJ220 on a carshow. I was in heaven of this car. A few years later I was able to drive a distance with a dutch owner of this car in Luxembourg. This is still one of my dreamcars:



I opened the box and was suprised. There was a seat missing but the bags were still sealed.... How's that possible? But lucky me there was someone that helped me to sent me 2 new seats.





The other parts:







The original wheels are ugly and cool at the same time. It's like a supercar with plastic wheelcovers



Time for a new set of wheels. BBS LM look good at every kind of car, but I didn't know they looked so very cool under this car:







There is just one right color for a British supercar: Bentley Speed Green:

You choose nice colour and wheels. Just one remark. XJ 220 has central lock wheel ONLY!

Looking forward to seeing the paint results. I was going to paint an xj220 I'm doing currently in that same colour... until Royal Mail rained on the parade and decided that zero paints are dangerous goods..

I think I prefer these in the dark colours like that deep purple.
I've got one in my to build pile and I keep wanting to shorten the rear, especially seeing as it doesn't actually have the V12 it was supposed to...

Great Choice of wheels, anything would look better than the hubcap look!
Nice choice of colour, im sure the Jag purists would prefer Jag green but That Bentley Colour is VERY Nice!
I read an artilce a few years ago saying 10yrs after the XJ220 came out there were still several New cars that hadnt been sold!!! Sitting on the car lot for over 10yrs!!

I like your choice of color for this jag..i think the metallic racing green really is the best color for all jags. For the wheels, damn i never thought an XJ220 would look so lovely sitting on a set of LMs... really lookin forward to this build!!
