XJ220 C

[guydw]

Just saw a Yellow XJ220 C at the Aztec roundabout in Bristol, was being put onto a low loader.... looked awesome, I didn't know these cars were road legal ?

To be honest I've been trying to see if I can find out if it's real or a replica, if it is it's a very good one, looked AWESOME !

Anyone know anything ?

Yep, the Cs are road legal. Tom Walkinshaw used to own a rather special yellow one which was reputedly rather faster than an F1, but he'd never confirm it. Anyway, I overtook him in it once on the M40 - in my old 1.0L Metro

Interesting, this one had a TWR plate.. the guy with it was not Tom Walkinshaw...

It was probably sold when TWR went bust.

I heard that Walkinshaw had set up again supplying go-faster parts etc. Wonder if he'll ever re-build the empire. Hope he does, he always seemed a top bloke.
