As long as I live, the car I want to own the most is an XJ220. One in green, with the grey wheels. It’s one of the most beautiful cars in the world, ever. They still look new. They don’t look like a 90’s car. They’re absolutely achingly beautiful. I have never seen one in the flesh, if I did, I would spend hours admiring its beauty.
Wouldn't fault you for that, they don't credit their filmmakers. Praemio is indeed however a completely separate entity created by the production company, Valkyr. Enjoy!
This makes me unreasonably happy. I live four blocks from where TWR USA had their shop in Valparaiso, Indiana and I was friends with a number of the team. When they started the Fast Masters series, Tony Dowe invited me to stop by the shop one afternoon. I walked in and my jaw dropped when I saw a row of XJ220's all being prepped for racing! I had only seen them in magazines and figured I would never see one in person, and now I was standing in front of TEN of them! I was invited to come down to IRP for Friday practice for several rounds, and I got to ride in the 2-seater "Press car" twice -- once with Davy Jones, and once with Johnny Rutherford. That was an experience I'll never forget. I was really sad when they all went back to England -- I tried to convince them to save money on freight by just letting me drive one home and store it in my garage. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Still one of my favorite sportscars. Ever. Sleek, curvy, breathtakingly beautiful. The XJ220 never looks old. Thank you for keeping them alive.
Except unlike the F40 or Stratos, the XJ220 was severely under-appreciated. People were REALLY upset over that V6 swap, even though it was a fantastic engine.
Haha, love it when you watch something filmed close to home. Been overtaken many times by these guys 'testing' theirs and customers xj220 including that vivid blue xj220s (iassume it's an s variant) That little bit of road this is filmed on runs between the villages of Yarnfield and Swynerton near Stone in Staffs. It's only a mile or two long but it's genuinely a fantastic little blast!!!
I saw the van in Top Gear. I had a dark blue 1/18 scale XJ220 by Mastio, when I was a teen, and absolutely loved it. The XJ220 is as timeless, and beautiful as a E-Type is. It just goes to show what Jaguar can do when they really try. I can easily understand why Jaguar went with 2wd, but they should have kept the V12, or at lest did a turbo V8. Thank you.
I bought so many Maisto and Bburago model cars as a teenager/young adult, I probably could've bought a goddamn REAL XJ220 instead. Had a whole basement showroom full of the buggers.
I had a 1/12 scale one from Maestro in green. Wish I took more care of it. Honestly one of the best looking cars of all time. It was so right. Just a shame they marketed it as a v12 and 4wd, because it wasn't actually made worse that way.
I totally Agree, For me the Nicest and Best Supercar. It drives like a Go Kart ! (I drove it in Racegames) The Car is very light for it's Size. Once had the Luck to watch it parked at a Hotel,I was amazed,didn't even dare to Touch it, astonishing Design. I am a Big Car Fan,love the Testarossa,959 ,GT40,but this Car is Something Different. My next choice Jaguar would be the Ian Callum MK2 Restomod. ua-cam.com/video/htDFMihlHGE/v-deo.html Greetings !
@@alfachraz absolutely agree, it's God Tier but not at the tippity top. F40, McLaren F1GTR/F1, is above it. But in terms of Design, it's on the exact same tier as the F40
I love XJ220, always did. I even bought Mike Morton's book about it. What a wonderful machine it is. I wish I could see Law's family workshop inside. I could spend hours there.
I have at least sixty 1: 18 size cars from Maisto, BBurago and others brands. I have a red F1 too. Awesome channel, just discovered and already subscribed.
+Juliano B. A. They were less than $10 at Sams club growing up, I only got up to a couple doze though wish I had 60, think I'm gonna go buy more now haha - Jeremy instagram.com/p/BIfwOGADm0k/
Yes, they were way cheaper in the past! But what a sweet collection you have! And lots of sweet pictures on your instagram. Keep up with the nice work my friend.
What a beauty of a car! My list of the best looking cars ever made: 1) Jaguar XJR-15 (1990) 2) Jaguar E Type (1966) 3) Jaguar XJ220 (1988) 4) Jaguar XK8 (1996).
beautiful,the poor fools who poo pooed this because of the lack of v12 ended up missing out on one of the best "ultra rare" jags of all time. the wood body is absolutely stunning and an incredible snap shot of the history of this misunderstood and obviously underappreciated supercar. thank you for preserving these for the future car affectionados to be able to appreciate and admire.
Great video! I love the XJ220; she's one of my childhood heroes. Twenty-something years later I continue to display a 1:12 scale silverstone green model in my playroom, probably the same as the one you see at 6.00 minutes in to this video. The car's a legend and I think the coolest car Jaguar ever made. It does me good to learn that this car has a preservation group as dedicated as this with so much ready access to original stock, tooling and artefacts.
Thanks to Don Law Racing. Without them people would've maybe forgotten about these magnificent XJ220's. It has always been my dream car that i've always wanted to own. Maybe one day i'll be privileged enough to own one and i'll then definitely be coming here. Even if i never get to own one, i'd still like to visit them just to see these beautiful creations once.
This is the most beautiful car ever created. I didnt know you guys existed, i will be remembering this for years until i buy one myself. I know surely now who will be restoring my future obsession or help+ing keeping it in pristine condition. hehe
Such a gorgeous car. The inside is just like a Jag. Soft leather. Power everything. Working a/c. Full interior. Very comfortable. Compare it to a F-40 interior which is bare. Like a seat and steering wheel bare. They did any amazing job with the XJ-220. It deserved better treatment then it got
Don Laws place is just down the road from where i live. It's that well tucked away and hidden, lots of folk drive past daily without even knowing whats there!
Love this iconic exotic.... I fall in love with the XJ220 while playing a video game and the passion is still strong! Wish I have one in my garage now... and with XJR-15 V12 : )
I'm glad to see this car got the lads to manufacture their own parts which also makes me wonder if it's up to them, they could tool / manufacture an entire jag on their own (chassis included)
Just a WOW car! My personal favourite of the Jaguar Supercars remains the XJR-15, but it has to share it's "one of a kind Jaguar" podium with this XJ220. Car maniacs never have enough money to get them all :`)
Fantastic story. I didn't like the styling when they came out however I have to say now that they have aged incredibly well. I have a feeling that the Mclaren speedtail will go the same way. I remember seeing one of these cordoned off in a Jaguar showroom waiting for its owner. I don't know if anybody has but it would be good to see one as it was destined to be. i.e V12 and 4WD.
Hope u guys keep the 220 model alive...it just doesnt age, the model chasis is going to last forever..ooohhh!!!...if they just make a new engine pushing 1500 bhp...wet dreams....
Great story that needs to be spread and I can't imagine a better way than this art of a video. Amazing! Not everyone can appreciate a fine wine but still, only 27k subscribers for the best channel on UA-cam?! A shame really! Come on you people, subscribe!
I was amazed at how much the XJ220 felt like a Jag. You have to sit in an contemporary Ferrari F40 to understand what I mean by that. Many hyper cars back then had unfinished interiors or just really cheap ones. The Jaguar XJ220 was all creamy leather by comparison. As beautiful as the exterior. Simple by today's electronic standard but super clean back then.
It's more beautiful than any other cars around back in the day. Far nicer than Ferraris , maclaren or Maserati but it's subjective and only the lambos do it in my opinion on styling. The engines and quality seems far better than many other Jag models including the F type.
I don’t cry a lot but I would if I was there.... great video of my childhood and even adulthood dreams, ninety’s cat has got more class than any modern puss!!
Absolutely outstanding video and work I would love to see more like it more details on the cars. Total dream poster car I own a BMW specialist business and we basically do the same with the e30 m3 build them with love and passion absolutely fantastic
It is still a remarkable looking car, and I think the video is right in the sense that the Jaguar got some bad press. Certainly elements of the interior were lacking in the refinement department, but the real nail in the coffin was the McLaren F1, which not only dwarfed the XJ220, it redefined the supercar segment.
I've loved this car ever since it came out in the late 80s. They look so sleek and as though they are going 200mph when standing still. Unfortunately I know I'll never have the chance of even sitting in one as even if I got the chance I don't think I'd be able to get in as I'm disabled and there's no chance or I'd be in excruciating pain.
Where a very common site in & around the Coventry area, seen lots over the years (silver/green/burgundy....). An old man whom lived close by had a burgundy one, looked nice.

Thought I was watching petrolicious. Great video.
It's the same people that run petrolicious videos
Wouldn't fault you for that, they don't credit their filmmakers.
Praemio is indeed however a completely separate entity created by the production company, Valkyr. Enjoy!
Valkyr I thought Jeremy Heslup and Valkyr did the videos for both channels? Sorry for the confusion
Nearly 60 Petrolicious Videos, and these as well :) - Jeremy
Aaron Li it’s funny, never heard of Petrolicious until 2 days ago, now I’m seeing everywhere
Love the British racing green with the gold wheeles. Looks extra good on the 220.
Shylock Maximus:
EVERYTHING looks good in the XK-220.!!!!!!
Shylock Maximus the british way
@Natural Creature absolutely

Thank you for keeping them alive.
with the direction modern super and hyper cars are going this thing looks more modern then ever!
Three great things I love about Great Britain are the movies, the music, and the cars.
Shame Great Britain no longer exists.
I had a poster of this car on my wall as a boy. Not a lambo not a Ferrari... this BEAUTIFUL ,SEXY, TIMELESS machine!
This car is like The F40... or the Stratos.... Timeless. Eternal beauty. Intense video, splendid editing !
Except unlike the F40 or Stratos, the XJ220 was severely under-appreciated. People were REALLY upset over that V6 swap, even though it was a fantastic engine.
That is a georgeous Ford Transit.
The most underrated hi-end sports car of the 90s right here

I was wondering where it was, I knew it looked familiar, I've spend a fair few weeks in yarnfield!

It's never too late to have a happy childhood. !!!!!
Jaguar XJ220 - Timeless Design & The best supercar ever made.
For its time, no. The F40 is. The XJ220 is up there though :)
its beautiful, but the best ever? its not
I totally Agree, For me the Nicest and Best Supercar.
It drives like a Go Kart ! (I drove it in Racegames)
The Car is very light for it's Size.

This is fantastic. The XJ220 is beautiful. Well done Valkyr.
Thank you for doing this film. Well done. Wish it was longer than 7 min. One of my all time favorite cars!

The XJ200 was indeed a masterpiece way ahead of its time.

Xj220 has been my dream since childhood. Uggghhhhhh so exquisite
Probably the most beautiful supercar body ever. Especially in green. It's stunning.

I could of easily watched an hour of this.
Wonderful car, wonderful story, and a wonderfully shot video. Shows how right Forza Horizon 4 got the British countryside.
I love the green one with the gold wheels. They are all just so beautiful.... you guys are the best!
Well done, Awesome Car
one of the most underrated supercars ever.
one of the most beautiful supercars....
Great video, nice production. We have some great pictures of that era and Don Law himself racing in his #10 XJ 220 racing car!
Really emotional video. I think you transfer the watcher hat you really feel. Amazed!
Small correction... this is still one of the fastest cars in the world and more beautiful than some 2018 models.
A thing of beauty is a joy. FOREVER
Don Laws place is just down the road from where i live. It's that well tucked away and hidden, lots of folk drive past daily without even knowing whats there!

any video which has mrjww tied in making is bound to be beautiful
Sat in one at yorkshire show as a teen,never seen one since...awesome machines,so pretty.
Holy crap...I'm in love...My XJ needs a mate...I want one of these. Absolutely stunning!
Brilliant video,
I love these guys!
i like how he pronounces JAGUAR so effortlessly & fliudly!,
even thou it's different than my learned American of it.
Beautiful
I'm glad to see this car got the lads to manufacture their own parts which also makes me wonder if it's up to them, they could tool / manufacture an entire jag on their own (chassis included)
Absoluitely in love with the cinematogrophy. Keep up the amazing work! Subbed
Fantastic video.
Excellent video!
I literally cried after watched this video

Great shots, nice work!
Very nice! Slick video and great to hear the story :)

Masterpiece! Watch it couple of times weekly. Wish you would make one of a JaguarSport XJR-15 and a Jaguar Sport XJR-S.
Yeah many don't know about the XJR-15
So do we!
