Currently working in one of the local villages to me and this turned up this afternoon into the village garage.

Seen a few in the flesh over the years. Awesome car and held the production car speed record for a short time when it first came out. 211 mph. Looks like it could do twice that speed. 8) :wub: :bow:

Very nice and couldn’t resist looking how many miles he’s got on that - fair to say it doesn’t get out much :thumbsup:

Hero car!

Now you can say you’ve seen an XJ220 at Spar.

Seen that one at a couple of events, I think it's one of the only ones that gets driven regularly! Think the owner (Phil McGovern) is behind Caffeine and Machine.

Awesome car :)

The village is Wellesbourne, between Stratford upon Avon and Warwick. This would explain why Mister T has seen it at Caffeine & Machine.
Aston Martin must have an account there as well because there are an awful lot of Astons fuelling up there during the day, coming from Gaydon I guess. Both current models and cammo'd prototypes. Monday a disguised DBX (SUV) came in and today another disguised sports car, smaller than a vantage but not sure what that was though.

I might have to take a week off work and set up camp across the road from there and do some supercar spotting!

On second thoughts, that's not a good idea...

Stunning car - wouldn't it be great to pop down to the Spar for a pint of milk in that! :rofl:

I went to the H & H Classics auction in Duxford with a mate today - if I ever won the lottery I'd need to stay away! Well at least until I had a large secure storage unit anyway. :lol:

No Z4s there but there was a stunning 3.0CSi and an LHD 2.8i Z3 Coupe, but sadly it was an auto.
Coupes because stunning!
