Enough of this posing, just get a McLaren F-1 and be done with it. Short of that, I'd have to side with the Jag or maybe EB 110?

Go for the XJ220 Jas! In my opinion you can't compare the two!

Stradale for me. I saw a burgundy Xj220 this past weekend and although it is a fine Britsh exotic, it has lost some of its wow factor IMO.

RufMD, if you are serious about the Jags at Keuylian, PM me. I am friends with the previous owner of the vehicles, they are 2 of the 5 XJ220S models ever built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing.

Wasn't that car owned by a dentist in LA?? If it's the same car, he made a big scandel and returned the car after owning it for a few years to the same dealer he purchased it from. He tried to sell the cars but didn't have much takers. He then threatened to sue the dealer if they didn't take the car back, saying they were not street legal. The dealer took the car back to avoid a fight. Pretty shady moves if you ask me. I personally would stay clear of that car.

veryon.... otherwise my vote goes to the EB110 or the xj220. EB's look amazing however so I'd lean towards that. What about a vintage ferrari gt or the carrera rs or a yellowbird or something more "old school" than the jag

great thoughts guys...the only thing that turns me away from the Keulyian Jags is the fact that they have been modded (albeit slightly, and some would argue tastefully)...I would orefer to keep these original, especially the XJ220 "S" version, which is super rare.

There is a place in Muncie Indiana that could service the XJ220...pretty close to me...

From a valuation standpoint, XJ220's have been pretty stable the last few years and are at the bottom of the curve and somewhat rebounding.

If anyone has solid links to solid unmolested US certified cars, post 'em up...

Thanks again for the opinions...leaning slightly towards the Jag due to the scarcity and "wow" factor as some put it !
