I worked from the fantastic MOC designed by BrickMOCery and improve it further, adding some stickers, where necessary, for maximum realism.
Here is the link to BrickMOCery's XJ220 (before my own edits obvs!)

It's time to move back to smaller scale... and to supercars. As once I had an obsession with rare cars, I searched again for some rare beauty. And I succeeded. This is Jaguar XJ220. Accordin to wikipedia - only 281 of these where made during 1992 - 97. At the very beginning this beast was made with V12 engine at the rear. But as at the early ninties there were too strick emission regulations, the manufacturers replaced it by V6 and the car become a mid-engined beast. But despite that it still hold a speed record till the McLaren F1 was born. So behold of the British angry beauty - Jaguar XJ220.
The incredible XJ220; both show care and production version.

The XJ 220 was developed from a V12-engined 4WD concept car, unveiled in 1998. Approximately 1.500 deposits were taken. Engineering and emissions requirements resulted in significant changes to the specification of the XJ 220, most notably the replacement of the V12 by a twin-turbo V6 of 3.498 cc developing 542 hp and a RWD concept instead of 4WD. Yet is was one of the most expensive production cars at that time. As a result, many buyers choose not to exercise their purchase options. A total of just 275 cars were produced between 1992-1994. It's name is pure Jaguar tradition : 220 refers to the top speed in mph, or 354 km/h.

XJ220 number 3 for me, never thought there would be that many in Hong Kong. It might not be the most beautiful car in the world but for a car that's now over 20 years old... its very cool.

"When Jaguar revealed the prototype XJ220 at the British International Motor Show in 1988, it was a sensation. A worthy successor to the multiple Le Mans-winning C-Type and D-Type Jaguars of the 1950s, the XJ220 grabbed the headlines, just as its illustrious forebears had done in previous decades. A planned limited-production run of a minimum of 220 and a maximum of 350 cars, combined with an eventual VAT-inclusive price tag of nearly £403,000 (over a half a million in U.S. dollars) only served to further ensure the XJ220’s exclusivity. There was immense interest and almost 1,500 orders were received, each with a £50,000 deposit. Jaguar then had the task of allocating cars to those privileged few customers that it considered worthy of ownership. The production XJ220 was officially launched at the 1991 Tokyo Motor Show and when production ended in 1994, approximately 275 examples had been built..."
