Correct.

The only hypercar doing well is the Enzo, still trading at above £500k .... a healthy £80k profit 8)

Yep. The exclusivity of the Enzo undoubtedly helps.... though CGT's are declining in numbers. I've just heard from a friend that his friend was recently killed driving a CGT. The accident also involved a Koenigsegg and reputedly happened at over 180mph.

I really doubt Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can kill you.

About the Jag...I kind of like it but, realistically, it's just a straight-line rocket that is in need of a parachute.

went there to see it too...here's the story on the car:

it belonged to this guy, who lives in interior of brazil, mato grosso....he couldn't sell the car here in sao paulo, 3 years ago, in the ferrari store....then, he tried to sell it last year, unsuccessfully, in another store, now he's trying the third one....he won't sell it....he's asking for too much....

There's only two of them here, one belongs to this guy, the other (which i've seen) belongs to a guy who owns a GT40, an aston martin v8 vantafe, a diablo, an EB110, a lister storm, and a CLKGTR, among others..... it's beautifull

They ask for 1 million reais...which adds up to be 300K dollars....but now it seems they've changed the price

gbg · 04-04-2005, 10:15 PM

^^ I heard another history concerning this Jag... a friend told me that it belongs to the Diniz family, and that they were asking 400 k dollars, a bit more than 1 million reais (using the 2,65 currency for today)

but he too told me that the car is being sold for a looong time

ouch! and how the hell I only see it now?

I hope this baby stay on the store until at least the next time I go to SP...

I went to Brazil a long time ago, but there is one thing that I cant forget... that was my father buying a pizza and having it stolen on the way to the apartment. When he came back, empty handed, he told us the story. I wonder how cars like that last longer than 1 week on the street.

mclaren_Gt · 04-05-2005, 01:06 AM

very nice, car, the colour not bad, but im prefer it in silver

but only one thing, WTF with that rims ???
lol are so fucking ugly
my question is, what is the price of a jaguar xj220 brandnew?

700k is ridiculous?

i think this car is over that range of prices, but is sad becoss the people only pay 200k, for one car like this

this is one of the best s, ever maided, for me =)

DeMoN · 04-05-2005, 04:59 AM

maybe the original rims were stolen LOL!

crayzayjay · 04-05-2005, 05:02 AM

The rims aren't great. But neither were the originals imo:

Z3uS · 04-05-2005, 05:55 PM

I also didnt know we had such a rare example of these in Brazil
