No, it was the last year for them. I'm definitely keeping at least one of them in my collection - but I'd like to keep the brown one with no miles on it. That fucker is gonna be worth a half million dollars in 20 years, maybe more. They didn't even sell many of them. Like 200 in the US were sold with the competition package. I have no idea how many opted for the other packages I ordered, like the carbon ceramic brakes. Probably not a whole lot of 'em sold with a 10k option mostly useful for track driving.
It's a lovely car. If you ever get the chance to drive something similar, jump on it!
If I get the chance I woudl definitely jump at it. The only really special cars I ever get to drive around here are my uncles corvettes or shelby mustang he's got, but even then it's only a five or ten minute spin and thats it.
I do get to drive a Jaguar Vanden Plas when ever I want and I enjoy that. I looked up on howmanyleft.co.uk and there are only 97 of them registered for use on the road in the UK currently. That is fairly rare car. I have no clue how many are registered in the US
I think the Jag market in the US is bigger than it is in the UK. So, maybe more? I don't really know. Sadly, we don't have any uniform way to verify things like that.
And a Jag ain't a bad car to cruise around in. Amusingly, my M6 likely outperforms your uncle's 'Vette or Mustang, unless he's spent some money upgrading them. I think 0 to 60 is like 4.4 seconds, something like that. Actually, it might be 4.2 seconds with the competition package.
How old is the 'Vette?
The mustang was sent to Carroll Shelby brand new for a major upgrade. He's got a stingray, a z1 I think and one of the new ones. The mustang is his wife's, I know he went all out and had them give it full power
