Wow that is a lot less than they were going for a few years back!

 

[Delmonte]

That really is cheap, they were in the mega bracket recently

 

[rockits]

That is some service.....£52k! That is exactly twice the number of the most expensive car I have ever bought.

 

[allandwf]

It's about £420k not the price of the service lol.

 

[Oneball]

£52k service for something with an Austin Metro engine.

I thought it was a Mondeo engine

Way before Ford were involved, it’s the 6R4 engine.

Astons have Mondeo engines

Good to know....still one heck of a car.tha XJ220 at the time.

Aston know how to make a Mondeo engine sound good though

Had dinner with Win Percy at the Brands Hatch Place, he was racing an XJ220 for Don Law the next day.

Was it at newby hall a few years ago there was an XJ220 moving under its own power , I'd never seen one moving before

 

[2b1ask1]

I followed one over the QEII bridge moving under its own steam, would have been about 2001

 

[Swedish Paul]

Wasn’t it supposed to be a V12?

Last year:

Silverstone Auctions | 404

The original concept was for a V12 and it was changed after initial deposits were taken from customers. Many cars were unsold at the time.

A pair of rear tyres for these are £3,200 + VAT, they are the same spec as my Trofeo, 345 35 18. I am seeking out alternatives ...

What tyre is that?

 

[StuartW]

What tyre is that?

It's a Bridgestone that was developed with Don Law. They were the original supplier to Jaguar but no longer produce the old pattern. These new ones have been developed specifically for the XJ220 but they will kindly sell me a pair for my car.

Pirelli also make a P Zero in this size, again specifically for the 220 but they will also sell them to me but only through the Jaguar classic department, this time only as a set of 4 for £4,950 + VAT.

The fronts aren't an issue for me as the sizes are readily available but the rears are not an in vogue size being that they are 18" diametre by a colossal 13" wide. I currently have an excellent pair of Michelin for the rear but this size is no longer made by them so when these go, I have very little choice. Mickey Thompson tyres seem to be the only ones that fit unless I can get a special discount with Pirelli or Bridgestone somehow!

I'll certainly have an XJ220 on my shopping list when Camelot finally smiles on me. Until then I can dream:
