Okay, the car wasn't much cop after all the hype surrounding a 6.0l V12 engine, but the car still sold at £415, 000.

This car is for sale at £99 000

Although the car is not as great a drive, or as direct as an F40, it is still special nonetheless. I also doubt that anybody can argue with it's looks. It is a beautiful car, no matter what. 8)

What do you think? Is it a shame to see that the value of such a special car fall so low? It was after all, the fastest car in the world (until the McLaren F1 came along). :)

I still see the XJ220 as one of the most beautiful and amazing cars ever built, even if it doesn´t has the initial V-12.

A shame, no discussion about it..!
To sell this car for that fistful of pesos shouldn't be possible...

its a bargain for the lucky man/woman who buys it though and i'm sure in years to come its price will start to rise again as it becomes more of a classic

Someone on TV said that in 20 years or so, this car could reach stratospheric heights in the car market. Like 5 million USD.

£ 99.000 is not very far under the price for this car i think, a Bugatti EB 110 is not much expensive ...

I was told (by a Bentley saleman in Singapore), that the Sultan of Johor's son (a state in Malaysia) has two XJ220s. Haven't been able to verify it though, so take with a grain of salt!
I do know that the prince has a love of fast cars and has a Diablo in his collection amongst other exoticars.
