Driving the very first Jaguar XJ220! | Kidd in a Sweet Shop | 4K

Welcome back to KiaSS! In this episode, I finally drive one of my dream cars, the fabulous Jaguar XJ220! When it was released, the XJ220 was deemed as a bit of a disappointment - but that couldn't be further from the truth...

Huge thanks to Don Law Racing for providing the car!

I love the fact that the XJ220 looks dated, but also futuristic! Very few cars can make such a strong visual statement and remain appealing in the modern world. There are two great regrets in my life, one is not buying a Countach QV5000 when I had the chance about 20 years ago, the other is not buying an XJ220 when I had the chance, also around that same time. In fact, don't remind me of the bad decisions the younger me made...

Thanks for taking us for a drive Jodie. Everything about this car is timeless. It will look futuristic even in 2050.

A legend of a car no matter what. On my wall in the 90’s with a Testarossa, 959 and a Countach . What a car the XJ220 is . What a car it could of been had the finance’s allowed. Another great video .

I have always been a fan of the styling of British automobiles - clean, simple, and smooth - the 220 in blue is near the pinnical. What a beautiful car. And once again, your enthusiasnm is so sincere - another enjoyable video.

This is an instant sub right here. My all time childhood dream car, that I haven't had the honor of being next to in person yet, and seeing you showcase this wonderful piece of automotive history almost brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this.

Excellent, excellent episode Jodie. I love the raw, uncut, emotion and humanity you present on this channel. It just keeps getting better. I did laugh at you trying not to

[jasonmillington]

First time I ever saw one I could not believe how good looked in person. A true classic and pioneer with aero that was ahead of its time

This is the car that made me fall in love with Jaguar. I had a tear out of this car in the mid 1990s that I packed everywhere and looked at often. It is my absolute dream. Thank you for sharing this!!!

People never say but the XJ220 won Le Mans before the organisers could find a way to disqualify it. Please make a video with one of Don's four XJR-15, that's a scary car.

just watched it for the second time. Brought back a lot of memories. I am 52 but feeling 25 again. Nice one again. Thank you

[ProducerCliff]

Its so good to see a 220 in the flesh! Love your reviews Jodie, so glad you too are amazed by this incredible Jaguar.

[russellrobson]

Ohh, perhaps your best review yet! I love your passion. Never mind it isn't what it was supposed to be, look at what the XJ220 has become today! Clear to see you really are in a sweet shop!
So much so you nearly needed a beep machine. She was clearly way ahead of her time in the early 90's.
Great content, thank you so much. Makes my own humble classic pale in comparison.

[therealpodge]

Loved this! Can feel the joy the car brought you!

fantastic sound editing! first the f50 now the 220, two of my favs ever. Jodi brings the emotion, joy and excitement factor of these things to our screens as opposed to endless stats. refreshing. authentic. love it.

What a car

The XJ220 is one of the finest cars of all time and it’s also one of the most underrated cars a lot of people seem to forget it due to the fact that the great McLaren F1 came out at the same time

It’s lovely to see you fulfilling your dream Jodie keep up the great content

[jaromirr]

Seeing that rear suspension moving is so cool, excellent camera placement right there. I had the pleasure of sitting in one of these when they came out, at the shop at which my grandfather was a good customer, unforgettable memories with the man that got me into cars in the first place. This video hit home.

[dsummers]

The XJ220 really is looking better than ever. What a great experience behind the wheel. Thank you.

[YBA]

All the best to the Kidd family and crew! Canada loves you!

[AFFMotorsport]

What a start to the new year, Thank you Jodie, I could see you beaming with that special car.

Will never forget when I first fell in love with the XJ220. I was ten years old, playing the original Test Drive Unlimited. Didn't know it at the time, but it was the highest-rated car in B-Class while simultaneously being the oldest.
