The Jaguar XJ220 supercar – Jim Randle’s 1988 UK Motor Show dream concept with the sensuous shape. Developed and produced from 1989 to 1994 by JaguarSport – the Jaguar/TWR joint venture – as a limited edition 350 car run, it sold in one day at £290,000 with a non-returnable deposit of £50,000, attracting celebrities, speculators and the mega wealthy.
Mike Moreton, ace director of impossible projects, who was headhunted for the XJ220 by Tom Walkinshaw, relives the inside story of this fantastic hi-tech car.
