Agreed. It was even good enough to be in Forza. I think it's worth every penny of the buy it now price.

I'm not sure what 220s usualy go for but i'd stay well clear of that one, because it appears to have been listed by a complete fucking moron. Not only can't he find his caps-lock key, write the listing as if it was for a £1000 Ford Escort, include flashing red gifs suggesting i "BID NOW!" (on a buy-it-now auction?) but he makes such statements as "OPTIONS ON THIS JAGUAR INCLUDE THE TURBOCHARGED 6 CYLINDER ENGINE". I'm pretty sure Jaguar didn't offer a version of the XJ220 without an engine, so i'm not sure i'd call that an option.

Nobody with the money to own an XJ220 would write like that, and anyone with $200,000 to spend is smart enough to know not to deal with someone like that.

Very true, good eye.

I always said if I EVER wanted to buy a car from eBay. it would have to be from an accredited dealer. I would go to the dealer and take the car for a test drive myself and then make the decision. After working at a dealer and hearing stories about others, I've found out a lot of times you can get a better deal buying it online and picking it up than walking into the dealer. If you're a good barter on the other hand, it might be the other way round.
