Wonderful collection and the XJR 15 is a beautiful choice. I much prefer vintage supercars to modern offerings, hence my choice 18 years ago of a '72 De Tomaso Pantera. After four years of modification and restoration, it has modern day power along with upgraded more comfortable interior. The problem with multiple supercars is finding the time and open roads to properly exercise them without traffic choking you. In Los Angeles, that's not an easy task. But your choices are magnificent and enviable, and good luck on your future acquistiions.

My mistake, should have put it in the XJR section. My wife had a XKR and I guess I had a mind fart on the model initials.

Probably the best place for it would be off topic or "other Jaguar", but I suspect the former has a lot more traffic than the latter.

Thanks for posting; wrong sub forum or not!

That's quite some collection. I'll give you ring the next time I'm in town, lol.

A few of those cars looked a little tail-happy. Course that would probably all fall onto Crappy Tires of Years Past.

Only one that was really tail happy was the Koenigsegg. Always felt that car secretly wanted to kill me.

I actually had to go all the way down to one when we moved from the UK to the US. The one I kept was the F40 as it was the only one I could import into the US as it qualified as a classic under the 25 year old rule.
