Doesn’t look like too much damage but could be underlying stuff as he’d left the road good and proper

I’ve seen 220 VAN around here a number of times over the past month doing various bits of PR work including a couple of months at caffeine and machine (used to drive past it parked on the street at night!) I wonder how many miles it’s accumulating and if it’s being trailered around Yorkshire...

Funnily enough when tidying out the loft yesterday I found the original XJ220 promo brochure they made - a friend's dad was a lifetime Jag customer and they'd sent him a few to see if he'd be interested.

I"m heading for 50 and going slowly mad thanks to lockdown. Leave me alone!

Is a Diablo like that really a £250k car (pre-COVID19 at least)? I didn't realise they were particularly desirable. Far rather have a Countach or a Murcielago.

Depends how low the mileage is. And 1990 is pretty much the first year they came out isn't it? Ever since Harry's video I'd love one.Jobbo wrote: Wed Jun 17, 2020 10:13 am Is a Diablo like that really a £250k car (pre-COVID19 at least)? I didn't realise they were particularly desirable.

Yes - I think only very low mile late examples could command near that. That one looks likely to worth not a lot more than half.

Was it the early ones that didn’t have power steering? I bet they’re tricky to catch when they let go...

I think they weren’t the most forgiving anyway, and Paddy isn’t exactly the smallest guy to be sitting in one of those (probably done for comedic value, but won’t have helped when it let go).
