Jaguar XJ220: A Fast Tour of Monaco at 5 MPH

The Jaguar XJ220 was a competitor to the Ferrari F40 and Porsche 959. However, unlike its rivals, this British supercar hasn’t seen a significant increase in value. According to Hagerty’s stats, it generally sells for less than $1 million. In this video, former Fifth Gear host Tiff Needel, who is also a racing driver, takes the XJ220, which is up for auction, on a ride through Monaco and the neighboring mountains.

Needel meets up with former Formula One driver Thierry Boutsen to examine the Jaguar supercar. The two share a friendly relationship and jokingly reminisce about their racing days. Boutsen, who deals in specialty automobiles as part of his business in Monaco, is the seller of the car.

Rare Borgward Isabella Barn Find Stored On Two Continents Gets Deep Detail

The Borgward Isabella, a stylish car produced in Germany from 1954 to 1962, was a strong competitor to well-known brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW. It offered a combination of comfort, style, and exceptional build quality. While it may not be as rare as some other barn finds like the Bristol 408 or Daimler DB18, this black coupe is still a unique discovery. What sets it apart even further is its fascinating backstory – it was stored in a barn in Europe that caught fire, causing damage to its paint before it was imported to the US.
