Hi

Sorry for the random post but I’m looking for a photo of an XJ220 that looks like it’s being driven at speed over a crest and the front wheels are off the ground.

Gives the impression that the car is leaping!

IIRC, it was a silver car from a mag years ago, I’ve googled for ages but can’t find the right image.

Can anyone help?

It's hard to beat those lines.

Perhaps Jaguar should have given that to Aston Martin in exchange for the DB7.

It is a timeless design!

Originally, the XJ220 was designed around a V12, but it never made it into the car. Jaguar decided to use a V6 instead, which today, would fit right in with cars such as the Ford GT and the Maserati MC20.
