1993 Jaguar XJ220 (images: Bonhams)

It’s 1992 and Jaguar’s XJ220 is the fastest production car … in the world.

It was built as a GT racer, and Le Mans champ Martin Brundle set a Guinness World Record of 217mph (349kmh) just shy of the 220 that Jaguar were aiming for.

Its history is chequered after that, the GT class it was built to race in was slowly phased out and Jaguar ditched the V12 for a V6 before release which lead some buyers to cancel their orders.

This was Jaguar doing what they do best; making cars that are beautifully stylish and stupidly fast. They’re never polite or proper or popular but everyone who loves cars can’t help but admire them.

The Aston Martin Lagonda Virage Coupé was a one-off created in 1988 as a test mule for the first generation Aston Martin Virage, which was in development at the time. The Virage mechanicals were concealed beneath the William Towns-designed Lagonda bodywork, which was shortened, changing the car from the standard four-door to a sharply edged two-door coupé. It received the Aston Martin internal ID of DP2034 (DP = Development Project) and received many revisions and improvements. Once its work as a development mule was done, it was purchased by a collector who had the car rebuilt to resemble the final series 4 Lagonda that was made between 1987 and 1990.
