With the 2010 edition of the famed Gumball 3000 race just around the corner, we have a real double whammy in store for James Spotting readers.
First out, Gumball 3000 founder Maximillion Cooper’s famed 1993 XJ220S is being offered for sale in the UK on JamesList for £165,000. One of only six carbon fibre racing spec examples made of the already limited version of the XJ220, Cooper’s car went on to achieve great fame as the emblem of his 3,000 mile international supercar rally, and has been featured in over 600 magazines, as well as at car shows including the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Salon Prive and Pebble Beach Concours. The car, which has a 650 hp engine, cost over $600,000 when new.
Cooper has displayed the car at the Olympic Games in Beijing, movie premieres including Gone in 60 Seconds. The XJ220S “gets more attention than Bugatti Veyrons and Ferrari Enzos for the sheer fact that you never see one of these on the road,” Cooper notes. “I bought her in 2007 especially to use on the Gumball as it was the only supercar that we’d never had on the grid. Having now used the car for the past three years, she’s still only done 11,000 miles and after each time I take her out she gets fully looked after by the only official Jaguar XJ220 workshop – Don Law Jaguar in Stoke on Trent.”

Moreover, we’re always trying to offer something extra.
