The best thing about this XJ220 (aside from it being an XJ220 and therefore awesome) is that it's a prototype with a V12 engine and not the V6 the production model ended with up with.

Literally, one of the most beautiful cars ever. I have a weird feeling that it would have dominated competition and gave Ferrari a run for it's money if they ever had the chance to race it. I mean, just look at it.



What's also nuts is they crashed the poo poo out of it early in it's life, then it was just put away in it's hosed up form until they repaired it years down the road.

The talk of Slantnoses up there reminded me that I should finally get around to going back through old phone pictures I had and post them in here, so have a bit (more) of a photo dump. I'll name the ones I know but some of the older cars I'm not too good on. Apologies if I've already posted any!

Porsche 930 Slantnose Turbo


Honda Z600 (Thanks 13 INCH DICK!) - does anyone know what the "Turbo 3000" badge designated, or if it was even factory?


Lotus Evora


Austin-Healey Sprite


Classic Boss 302


Classic GT350


BMW 2002 of some sort


Lotus Esprit


Ford/Shelby AC Cobra 427 (Probably a replica)


Ferrari 355


Ford Explorer Saleen Edition


A couple Porsches, another 427 Cobra in the background.. this place didn't have very good lighting but had a lot of very unique vehicles. The following BMW is from there as well.


BMW 3.0 CSL


BMW e92 M3 Lime Rock


Lamborghini Murcilago


1963 Corvette Split Window


Chevrolet Camaro(?) SS


Porsche 356



A Hot Rod


Classic Pontiac GTO

FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first


For those that don't know (or didn't read Jalopnik yesterday), this is the sole street-legal 935, owned by Mansour Ojjeh of TAG fame. Even though it sort of isn't a 935; it's a standard 930 body and interior, fitted with the engine from the 934 race car, combined with the brakes, suspension, aero kit and wheels(?) from a 935, all done by Porsche themselves.

So it is kind of a special car in a way.

The honda isnt a CVCC, it's Z600. Two cylinder air cooled motorcycle engine with a transmission as part of the crank case. No info on the Turbo 3000 badging though.

By the way, both Camaros are 1967s, and the GTO is a 1968. I believe that Bel-Air is a '56.

E: I guess it doesn't matter. You aren't listing years for anything else, but you seemed uncertain about those ones. :shobon:

Yeah it was more the models I wasn't too sure of. Not being alive when they were current and cars of that vintage being as rare as they tend to be nowadays I never learned about them much, so I have trouble remembering which are which based on appearance. Thank you for the specifications though!

Who specs up a Ferrari in this color? Or paints one that color after the fact. Either way that thing needs a new spray job.

Nope. Wrong. It might not be very "Ferrari", but neither is actually driving the car instead of wiping it down with diapers.

I agree... for the new ones.

But older Ferraris belong in Rosso Corsa with yellow/tan leather seats. Especially the 308, 328, 355, and 512.
