Wow that is so beautiful!!

 

XJ220 no doubt. The black one in the previous pic made that orange Lambo look like a toyota next to it. Incredible wow factor.

 

doc, its called class not age. Leave the lego-colored second-grade italian cars to people who care more about attencion than performance!

<flame suit on>

 

stradale all thw way doc..
talk to arling....

here's pics of his old cs

found old pics of the cs at cc...





the interior....

alcanatra galore, welds exposed raw awesome comes with a fire extinguisher too...

 

That black XJ is slick!!

 

I vote XJ220 or EB110. The CS looks to most people like any other 360.

 

If money were no object, the 220 would definitely be one in the group of cars I'd buy. One of the more handsome automotive shapes ever penned.

 

No doubt either of these cars are real hot. I don't think the CS offers anything the doc needs "right now" and he might own one some day. When you start to amass a collection like this I guess you should be asking yourself, "What am I going to do with this car and why am I considering it?" By that I mean that while the CS is a modern car and certainly a nice shape worthy of looking at, when you have the other cars he does it really doesn't stand out as something special. I'm sure it also is an excellent drive but again by comparison what is it bringing to the table? Ask yourself the same questions about the Jag and that should lead to the right answer. No question the Jag is the rarer piece and the supply may end up disappearing into collections that hardly move. If the right one comes along, like the F40 scenario, then it's probably the better move b/c I doubt too many CS's are being held in long-term collections at the moment.

 

If his goal were to attract attention he would be going for the Lambo in a bright color (as he already sort of stated). The CS is totally different from a "regular" 360. He is buying this car for himself, not so bystanders can be impressed.

 

No question, get the Jag, they are no longer built as you know and alot cooler than the Italian IMO.

However, you should get the Ruf CTR IMO, now that is an awsome car.

Thanks for the considered opinions...its nice to get a sampling from real gearheads, appreciate it much !

I'll be looking for some seat time in each over the next little while and then decide. I think both will provide years of visual and motoring appeal, as well as escalating in collectibility.

I think opinion questions like this are useful in that they sometimes bring to the forth issues I may not have considered....in addition to unearthing some good or not so good examples...


thanks again...

 

The pic of the black Jag looks Bad ***, Not too many of them.
Jag over the Ferrari for Exclusivity, but I agree with some of ther other members.
Bugatti EB110. over both.
the only one I ever saw was on a flat Bed going to a Dealer in BH.
I kept driving next to that flat Bed, the car is Beautiful and rare

 

My ex neighbor had a cool collection of cars. A couple Aston Lagonda sedans, Diablo. Lancia and one of my favorites was a Vector. Very cool and different. Anyhow one day he is telling about an XJ220 and how he is trying to have one imported. Some weeks later I am coming down the street and see him taking pictures of a silver XJ220! What a stunning car! There is no comparison between the XJ220 and a CS get the JAGUAR!

 

would be a tougher pearl to find, no doubt...but the hunt is half the fun right ?

when are you getting your CGT Buddy ? there 's a nice new Guards Red in the CGT section with you name all over it...

 

Whoa ... what just happened here ... The Diablo 6.0 is going to be a classic ... NO ONE said get the car in bright colors ... You can find them in Black, Silver, or White ... ALL his cars attract attention!! ...


Either way ... Here's a link to a JAGUAR that probably won't attract too much attention because it's SOOO subtle on appearance
