IanMan Report post Posted March 18, 2017 Love it. The XJ220 is the most under appreciated supercar of all time. This blue looks incredible on the car! Do you mind if I ask what shop is completing the restoration? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDoctor Report post Posted March 18, 2017 It seems like so long ago you picked up this car. Glad all is coming along nicely. Perfection takes time I can't want to see it 100% complete, so for now, I will reserve judgement on your wheel choice jkjk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDADDY Report post Posted March 18, 2017 Love it. The XJ220 is the most under appreciated supercar of all time. This blue looks incredible on the car! Do you mind if I ask what shop is completing the restoration? It is being restored at Lambo dealer in Toronto, they have the best mechanic in the city and only one I would trust to take on such a project . The body shop has 900 hours in the car , it will have the best bodywork of any XJ220s as the body is kevlar . I haven't seen anything this straight , kudos to them , amazing work . Motor should be back in by end of next week and then it will be minor details . Hopefully on the road by mid may Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeTruss Report post Posted March 18, 2017 Never have seen an XJ220 in person nor any pics of a privately owned example. They are beautiful, A few weeks ago in Beverly Hills a XJ220 was just driving around in the wild. I had to stop in my tracks and catch up to it. I don't think Ill see another in the wild again. Also beautiful Blue, I can not wait to see the end results Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever seen 2 in my life and one was at the Petersen museum. I found myself staring at that car for 20 minutes to take in all of the details!

I found myself staring at that car for 20 minutes to take in all of the details! Oh I live a few blocks away from there. And always stop by just to see the main room. I have yet to actually pay for a ticket for the whole place(which is crazy that I have't gone yet... for being a car freak). Sadly busy most of the time with School and Work. The lady would rather go to the Getty or LACMA when I do have free time. They just got rid of the Bugatti Chiron and other rare Bugattis. Was amazing seeing the Chiron up close face to face. Also seeing a XJ220 in a show room/event is much different then actually seeing one driven in the wild. Here is the quick photos I could take. Don't know why the images are sideways?

IanMan Report post Posted March 18, 2017 That looks just like the one from the museum. Did you get a shot of the rear? There are only two XJ220's in that area in that color I can think of.

LPDADDY Report post Posted March 18, 2017 One of the 5 XJ220s cars , the red one , is at the Marconi museum . The car is humongous yet weighs in at 2380lbs , I will take pics next to an Aventador when it is finished Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC Report post Posted March 19, 2017 Man it's been a long time coming. I'll be in and out of Toronto late March for a day so it will be too early. Next time I'm there for a few days I'll give you a buzz. Would love to check out the unicorn in person. Congrats on the progress. -Olivier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteout Report post Posted March 19, 2017 I saw that navy car at Raging Bull a few years ago. XJ220 in person is jaw dropping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMan Report post Posted March 19, 2017 I hope I'm not hijacking your thread LPDaddy. Since we're all spreading the XJ220 love, I thought I'd share these from the Petersen museum. They had a bare carbon P1 and I didn't spend anywhere near that much time looking at that car, compared to the 220. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
