Market commentary
It was briefly the world's fastest production car. It has appropriately wild '90s supercar looks, and the analog experience of a manual gearbox and lack of driving aids. It even has some success in racing. Yet the XJ220 continues to lag behind other exotics with similar performance and rarity in the collector car market. Part of it is due to the car's specs in period, as prospective buyers who were promised a V-12 got a twin-turbo V-6 instead. Part of it is that XJ220s are reportedly difficult to maintain even by exotic car standards. And part of it may just be because they're British, and exotic cars from Italy or Germany tend to, for some reason, have more cachet. Regardless, this is a sensible result for one. It's also not far off from what it probably would have sold for five years ago, which isn't something you can say about the equivalent Ferraris, Porsches, Bugattis, etc.
