hmm don't know, I see no bolts and why hasn't it been assembled as they'd have got far more for it. Add all the missing bits needed to get it running and it won't be cheap

But think of the performance. The XJ220 topped 217mph in a 2 ton car. Put that in a locost

Now if you were to create a spaceframe chasis to accept the XJ220 motor, but then cloak it in an e-Type body. Latest technology suspension, brakes...etc.

That would be sweeeeet!

Is there a Haynes manual for the XJ220?
