  I am surprised that a &quot;book&quot; of &quot;Land Rover - Designs&quot; has more than three Pages :D

  I had a connection with a company that had a Jaguar contract to race the XJ220. I called in one day to find that they were a little despondent because the cars they had been supplied with to turn in to race cars were early pre-production examples and there were a lot of parts missing particularly from the suspension. However, I had my son with me and he had his 1/18 scale model of the XK220 with him. The guys grabbed hold of it and were looking all over to see what was missing from their real example. Turned out that the model was damn good and provided quite a bit of information.

  Love the 959 and the F40 but the XJ220 is in a league all of its own it&apos;s just stunning.

  No issue with a relevant &quot;promotion&quot; - it&apos;s the ready-meals or VPN deals on history channels that are annoying. Thank you for keeping this channel what it is!

  I&apos;ve only seen one of these once in real life and it looked absolutely amazing in person, but I was shocked how big it was! Looked huge, especially for an old car!

  Superb video and as with the twingo story getting an interview with the designer is great : it puts at least one face on all the hard work done by the team .

  Not only did the tail lights come from rhe Rover 200, but Rover didn&apos;t let them have the version with the fancy grey-smoked indicators

  I remember seeing this in a magazine as a high schooler. I was completely gobsmacked. I was used to some sexy jags, but nothing on this level. Still one of the most gorgeous designs ever put on the road. Thanks for a great video.

  My favourite car as a kid. I now work in the building next door to the concept version shown in this very video.
