Didn't manage to get a picture sadly, but Jaguar XJR15 spotted on the a50 in Stoke yesterday afternoon. Looked and sounded awesome! And the reg number was XJR15 
even cooler.
I saw the yellow TWR XJ220 on the A50 by Britania stadium once a few years ago. I had a poster of that car on my bedroom wall when i was growing up. Couldn't beleive i had seen it. XJR15 is cooler though. even cooler.swerni said:

But why post it here?
It's not a super car and you don't spot it, you purchased it.
Maybe readers cars woukd be a better place

Get over it, scroll past if you don't like it .
Shall I post a pic of my old 4l V6 Pathfinder,
Engine from the 350z, but enlarged to 4.0 and only a handful ever sold in the country?

Yeah no problem, post away! We are all here because we like cars, looking at them/ talking about them so i dont see the problem
Please don't. The whole point of a forum is to divide conversations into topics. This is a spotting thread. We are not debating if the car is 'worthy' or not, the point is just that it is the wrong place to post it.cc8s said:

My favourite thing about this thread is the quality of photography from the proper spotters, I'd love to have an ounce of their talent!

...making my Panda Fantasia that I spot every time I walk down my driveway rarer than most of the cars featured here.
Forum Police? Want to cheek my spooling while you're at it?

I'd love to see pics of both those cars! (I'll keep a look out in Readers cars perhaps..)

That was at the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power in 2013, I forget the story behind it but it was brought by Don Law as others have said. even cooler.I believe the registration is actually XJR 1S rather than 15 - partly based on vaguely remembering it from CPoP, and partly from a check just now that shows XJR 15 isn't on anything, but XJR 1S is on "Jaguar - Unknown".

I agree

I think it's know as 'boasting' or 'gloating' rather than 'spotting' usually when it's your own car. Happens quite a bit in this thread and annoys me everytime ("hey guys look at this ferrari I spotted isn't it ace (ps. i just bought it :wink: :winkWhether it's considered snobbery or not is irrelevant, but this thread does occasionally need an element of policing, and I'd suggest posting up pictures of ones own car isn't exactly 'spotting'
). Etc.Maybe it's petty/pathetic to be annoyed by it but it's simply not the point of the thread, and this is one of the best threads on the site.

I saw that parked outside the hardware place in Longton, most bizarre thing in the world is seeing someone getting a gas bottle that car

Could well have been some slightly dodgy plate text to be fair. This is a rare occasion where it can be forgiven.I believe the registration is actually XJR 1S rather than 15 - partly based on vaguely remembering it from CPoP, and partly from a check just now that shows XJR 15 isn't on anything, but XJR 1S is on "Jaguar - Unknown".
