Ferrari 308 spotted in Malibu, California

Details on This Ferrari 308:

  • Location
    Malibu, California
  • Description
    ASDFSASGDSADFHWE I nearly pooped in my pants after spotting this XJ220 in Malibu!! 10 seconds after leaving the shopping center I saw it on the PCH traveling in the opposite direction and was making a left turn onto this place. I made my way back and saw it parked a minute later but realized this was the very same XJ220 that appeared on the Jay Leno's Garage show and Goldrush Rally this year. The owner was so nice that we talked and he let me sit inside too!!! Oh yeah, there's a Ferrari 308 in a rare color.

Wow this is awesome, congrats on getting to sit in it! There's one spec'd just like this somewhere around Chicago that I've seen before, you don't realize how low these things are until you see them in person.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

@DjShift: Yes, West spotted the silver one back in 2010 that appeared on "Top Gear".
@Cross: It was very surprising to see someone actually driving an XJ220 without worrying about the mileage but I had no clue the owner lives in L.A.
@DJHerbert: The owner has to wait an additional year because this is a 1993 model and come 2017 would be 24 years. That's not a major issue because of "Show and Display" and the owner loves driving it as well.

It's hard to believe how he asked first to let me sit inside the car because most owners wouldn't even bother (which I understand the reasons). Also, it honestly felt so surreal, awkward, and exciting opening the driver's door because there were people eating lunch watching me including him but the interior was luxurious and comfortable. The only downside was ingress and regress since the car was low to the ground but the experience was amazing all in all.

This one was in from Japan I think when the owner brought it over. It was in like the 40th floor of an office building, us spec, and literally no miles (not like it's easy to get any when you have a car where that jag was)

XJ220s are still extremely rare in the US, they have to be brought in on show-and-display. That will change next year when they turn 25 years old, so hopefully we'll start seeing more of them here. Awesome spot!

OH MY THE HOLY JAGUAR. One of my favorite cars ever. Never seen one in the wild, but I've seen three in shows. Maybe this season...

Holy!! To see a classic beauty like that is just insane. But once you add another beast in there, I can clearly see how you almost pooped your pants!
