They were made just down the road from my school, we used to see them driving through the village on an almost daily basis at one point. Jag actually came to our school and gave us a design talk, everyone who attended got to sit in the car. Was a great day :-)
@eagle boy If I recall correctly, it consists of two sections, one each side of the engine, which has to come out to enable the tank's replacement, hence the hefty price tag.
@@Hakirokone I couldn't agree more. He's quite a character. I do enjoy his enthusiasm for the cars he looks at. He has a knack for always giving you the right information and backstory
I had the 1:18 model as a kid (I still have it...) and not knowing anything about the cars performance, I could not get over the fact that the side mirrors are not mounted at the same spot...so I used that model as an actual toy and save the others (with their perfect mirrors..) from the wear... It was also the ONLY model I had that wouldn't fit on my shelf because it was so much longer :)
Definitely many exotic cars over there...but man, this XJ220....what a shape! Can stand equally with the modern supercars. Less than 8 minutes in Nurburgring back in 1992...A proper Beast !
@@deksam101 While I watch some of Doug's videos, his utter lack of car knowledge is rather off-putting. I understand the reasons for his success but from a petrolhead standpoint, even I would be able to do a better job. A review from Harry is miles above Doug, or other RUclipsrs.
If I remember right the XJ220 3.5 V6 TT engine was developed by Austin-Rover and the 3 litre version was put into the Metro 6R4 Group B rally car. After Group B was scrapped the engine was purchased by TWR and re-worked for the XJ220.
I love Harry's child-like enthusiasm, running from car to car like a little kid. It is also quite apparent that he is very well off, and assumes the rest of watching this are too.
Goddamn that XJ220 makes my heart flutter. I was born in the early 80s, and the car still shimmers in my imagination as one of my first, great automotive lusts. I still have a scale model of it in silver.
I don't think any other RUclips content creator can make this type of video as enjoyable as Harry does. Everything well described with all the background stories and details only someone with real experience and depth can provide.
I used to own a left-hand drive XJ220 (poster). It never left the garage but it did get water damaged in a flood and I couldnt afford the re-laminating repair.
Another cool video Harry cheers ..........was nice to see you pop up last night on the Motorbike show showcasing your Paris Dakar bikes to Henry Cole :)
I purchased one of these in 2000 for around £118,000 (R146 VOO) with around 1,000kms on the clock. I sold it stupidly 18 months later for £89,000... At the time, the fuel tanks were on a manufacturers' advisory replacement at a cost of £12,000. the main cost being the removal of the engine, to get to the tanks.
I'm lusting after that XK 120 - gorgeous, but the series 1 E Type with a guide price of 40 - 45K is seriously tempting. Love these auction previews, Harry.
The XJ220 is still one of the most stylish cars ever made, but i think that E9 might be more for me. Not that i could afford that either. Thanks for the upload Harry.
loving the Mini-Mini-Bar....and today on the A38 in Bromsgrove, an E-Type,Dull Green,Roll cage with a white circle on the side, flew past ....Very nice I thought...Ha !
Love those E9s and that's a steal, if it goes for its guide price. Saw the XJ220 at its launch in the NEC. You couldn't get near it because the crowd around it was twenty deep. Then it's value crashed because of the recession and I think Jaguar were left with quite a few unsold cars. Another great vid Harry. Thank you :)
A very interesting lineup and the Building in the background really sets off these cars nicely. The Jaguar XJ220 got my attention. Currently there is one for sale here in Australia for $700K with 9000 KM on the clock.
I owned a spa silver rhd xj220 a few years ago, there is a painting on the wall of my old car at the beaulieu museum. Did almost a thousand miles driving it from UK to Switzerland top speed 186mph in france , great performance but no brake servo so no brakes which was often scary. amazing shape and sound with sports exhaust. I still have the original exhaust in my shed ... great video Harry as always
Hello from Canada, great video. The first time I saw an Interceptor was in London back in 1969 or 72. Went to the 88 Motor Show in Birmingham, saw the Jaguar XJ220, V-12 show car, beautiful. A week later I got up and close to it when I toured the Jaguar plant and also toured Rolls-Royce Bentley, great trip.
The Railton with the wheel spats is my absolute dream car of all time. Just imagine running around in an original William Towns design,.and it's one of two.
Great video. I only watched because of the XJ220, which is basically my all-time dream car, jostling with the '67 Mustang. Some of the others, however are also incredible. That GT2 is somewhat special but not as jaw-dropping as the carb-sporting 911. I love the simpler machines. The shark-nose E9 is always an eyebrow-raiser. I've driven a 360 and loved it, but Bentleys bore me shitless! Great picks, thanks Harry.
New subscriber here...really enjoyed this; never seen the XJ220 before, but it's a feast for the eyes. Also the Cooper S...little beasts they are, have owned one, although not with a mini-bar!
Re the 360.. "very reliable..." hmm! My '99 car has spent more time being repaired than being driven since I bought it (from a dealer, so not a total shot in the dark private buy). These cars need lots of TLC. You might get lucky.. Buy you may also not be. For those Ferrari geeks interested, my car has needed a new TCU, a clutch position sensor, a new F1 pump, steering rack refurb, and it has sprung a leak (we think coolant) from the right rear end. My car has also had previous corrosion repair and may need some more.. YMMV!
@@dizzy2020 I have to say that, when working, the F1 is not as bad as people would have you believe. The way I treat the 360 is to believe it's more "race car" than road car. It simply operates more effectively without traffic, traffic lights, constant stopping and short trips. Forget all that, it's a Ferrari. Drive it as such. In that race car vein, when giving the car the beans, to be able to fully concentrate on braking, steering through an apex and not having to worry about how well (or not) you can heel toe, or how likely it is you might overrev is definitely welcome. For those from the Forza / GT age, it's exactly as you would assume it to be. The car downshift blips in Sport mode and upshifts pretty quickly if you lift off slightly. Shifting gets better with newer cars / TCUs and can be flash updated. It's a single clutch obviously and is limited by that fact, but then again, you didn't pay 458 / 488 money. My instinct has always been that the 360 was made for the F1. For some reason, the metal gearknob has always looked slightly incongruous to me in a 360. Another thing to note.. My current clutch is only at 52% having covered 20k miles. So they can last a decent distance (or a considerable amount of time) if you are not piling on the miles.
@@franciscomarques3571 hello. In the short time I had mine, I'd say around the ten grand mark - clutch went though (which we knew was coming). They are fairly old, highly strung, quite technical cars. So it is what is is. You need spare cash - or try and get a long warranty at a firm that will cover issues in-house (as part of the sale). Get the car checked beforehand too. A manual should cost you less to maintain than an F1 but there's so many things that could go wrong given the age and fairly hand-built nature of the car. When they are on point though, they are tremendous fun
"One last car to show you..." heres me with fingers crossed that itll be the green Citroen DS Presidentiale i thought i saw in the far background earlier while you were looking at the Ferrari and it turns out to be an equally wonderful green Railton! Fantastic!
Good thing i saw this video before heading to the auction... Than you Harry. This video was really helpfull. I got that Ferrari Modena.... I wish I could say that. I am poor and can not affort to fix my shitty car. Also I am in Mexico.
I really like that Interceptor Harry, you're right there's something nice about an original, unrestored car that a restoration can't quite manage. I once remember someone describing a restoration as "expensive vandalism" & it's always stuck with me. I agree as regards to the Turbo R, i love the Arnage but the old Turbo just has that special something that i too prefer.
I meant to add it should be in superb condition, and has some interesting Mulliner parts. Plus it was almost certainly a Brunei Prince Jaffri car originally
Wonderful explanations and opinions of these great cars! I recently discovered your YT channel and it’s absolutely one of my favorites! I’m really looking forward to your future content. Thanks for all your hard work. And, I love your Belstaff jacket.........I had twofold then back in the late-1970s during my motorcycle riding/racing years..........one red, one green!
So the guide price for the XJ 220 is less than original purchase pirice. Not surprised I’ve read it was a pig to drive because of its width, turbo lag and inadequate brakes. Wasn’t it’s engine developed from metro 6R4 I know which I’d prefer to have and play with.
Amazing. It doesn't seem that long ago that these cars were affordable for not much more than a Mondeo. I passed up a Ferrari 400 with low mileage at Barons auction Sandown Park at about 8000GBP about 2002. Now 5 times the price is a bargain! Well it's nice to see them all anyway!
The DB2 looks fabulous, thanks for presenting the cars and sharing as usual. A wish you might one day fulfilil, if ever you cross the way of a Maserati Mexico or a RR/Bentley S3 Mulliner "chinese eyes", could you please make a review of these cars. These are my dream cars and videos of them are too rare, thank you.
Harry is the David Attenborough of the motoring world...Brilliant reviews as always
JacquesBeard r u referring to Steve merchant?
Agree
What a brilliant comparison 👌
When Harry uploads, I pretty much stop what I’m doing. I could watch this man for hours.
Play him half speed and get 37 minutes.
on a break rn at work, then started watching this vid made me feel relax
I usually do - can't tell you how many times I've watched and re-watched the Countach/Testarossa road trips
Lol
Bollocks. Watching Matt LeBlanc's stunt double do doughnuts in car made from cheese, is far more entertaining. Did I mention I'm a twat?
Always love these auction previews - nice one Harry
OMG XJ220 one of the best looking car in the world

@@thedr00 that must be some great experience
I had one. Amazing car but monumentally-awful brakes. The main reason I sold it was that it needed a new rubber fuel tank, a mere £12,000.
I agree the car is stunning except for those bland wheels. I would be putting them in storage.
@eagle boy If I recall correctly, it consists of two sections, one each side of the engine, which has to come out to enable the tank's replacement, hence the hefty price tag.

Knows his stuff. One of the few car channels I enjoy watching.
Harry is a fantastic car person and presenter. I love that he gives a bit of a hint and opinion on the car he presents and the value.
Harry,,, simply wonderful to watch,,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧

XJ220 looks great. Back when you recognised a car from it's design, not that oversized badge.
Is that a Honda S800 behind you when you are looking at the Railton? Always had a thing for those little cars.
Damn that XJ220 had me touching myself. Beautiful motor.
The dark blue 3.0 in the background is the star lot for me.
Yep. Spotted that right at the start. Gawwwjus.
Can't believe that I sold my identical colour LHD XJ220 in 2001 for just £89,000!! I wonder if this one was mine...

Really like that pebble-shaped Railton Claremont with the rear wheel spats. Would buy that just so I didn't forget that it exists!
