Ive just died and gone to heaven!

Came across a prestige car dealer (not going to mention who or where as I dont want to give them free advertising) but they have quite simply the most astounding collection of cars for sale that I have ever seen. The highlight for me was 1 of 3 (yes THREE!!) Jaguar XJ220's they have for sale - registered early 90's, 2 collectors (not owners!) from new and a genuine 155 miles from new, all for the measily sum of £249,000.

Other highlights include:-

a 1986 Audi Quattro Sport (one of only 164 ever made - built so that Audi could rally the Quattro) £150K
2 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500's
a Lamborghini Countach POA
a Porsche 911 GT Turbo, 1979 and only 14000 miles from new £55K
several Ferraris
Lots of Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escorts that have been modified to rally spec

Scotland 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Buckingham Blue

I remember years ago being at Millbrook test track and seeing two XJ220's come round the banked track almost side by side.

Weren't they like, nearly half a million quid when they came out?

The XJ220 was never intended to be a production car merely a concept but when it was revealed there was that much interest they decided to go for it. I remember reading somewhere that when they accounced only 350 would be made they immediately had deposits of £50,000 for each one of them (making Jaguar £17 million in one day!), their anticipated price was to be £360,000 but was later revised to £460,000. Some customers backed out and due to the recession others backed out meaning only 281 were made.

Think it was the fastest production car until the McLaren F1 arrived and was also the fastest around the Nurnberg for several years
