Went to look at a Jaguar XJR 15 recently. I checked with the AMOC and they indicated that it was both eligible and would be quite welcome in two of the race series that they sponsor. Idea was to find a car that would be both competitive on the track and could be driven both to/from the track. After quite a bit of research have decided not to go ahead as the cost of bringing it back up to spec and legalizing it is more than I am will to spend but have to admit the XJR 15 is an impressive machine. What the XJ220 should have been.

Wow - what an awesome looking car.
How much is involved in bringing it back to spec?

Somewhere in the neighborhood of GBP 20-30k depending on the condition of the engine (which right now is unknown).

Wow. Not seen one of these in the metal ever before... Shame about the financial side of things not matchin up though.

Unfortunately this is the case with a lot of these rare very linited production supercars. Cheap (and very tempting) to buy but very expensive to get back on the road.

I thought they were death traps?

I've done a few races in the Super GT AMOC series and i guess this is where you were thinking. It would have good competition, but sadly grids are small.

That was the broad plan. Unfortunately the car ended up as a no go.
