<p>River Wye, Powys, Wales, UK<br />
<br />
The River Wye or Afon Gwy is the UK’s fourth longest river. It disects England and Wales as it runs south out of the Welsh mountains and into the Severn estuary. The southern stretch known as the Wye Valley National Landscape is so beautiful that it brought about the birth of British tourism in the 18th century. Part of the river is famous for its sport fishing, where the gentry came in their spades in the early 20th century to try their hand at catching labrador-sized salmon. These two drone images show the private fishing lodge, the Nyth (Welsh for “Nest”), which occupies the best spot on the river, set amidst the valley in all its autumn glory.<br />

<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
I have enjoyed climbing many mountains in Scotland,<br />
some of them, several times.<br />
Rarely can one capture the scale,<br />
the grandeur, the humbling texture of rocks<br />
that have been metamorphosed and eroded<br />
for between 500 million and 3 billion years,<br />
almost three-quarters of the age, of this amazing planet.<br />
Awesome. Magnificent.<br />
Surreal. Moving.<br />
Dynamic. Fantastic.<br />
Many more adjectives trip off the tongue.<br />
No matter how pleasing the image,<br />
it comes nowhere near<br />
the ecstasy of being there,<br />
feeling that stunning reality,<br />
that wild, breath-taking beauty.<br />
The slope, near right, plunges<br />
almost 3,500 feet, straight down to the valley floor.<br />
Quite overwhelming. <br />
I am truly privileged to have felt this magic, so many times.<br />
I wish everyone could be there,<br />
and sense these emotions,<br />
on such a throne of the Gods.<br />
Alas, not possible……<br />
but this, is the nearest that I can offer!</p>

The words 'supercar' and 'sensational' are often to be found in conjunction, and no more justifiably so than in the case of Jaguar's fabulous XJ220. 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, when it burst upon an astonished world in October 1991. A 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, only served to further ensure the XJ220's exclusivity. In the event, approximately 285 examples had been built when production ended in 1994 (published production figures vary).<br />
<br />
Planning for Jaguar's proposed 200mph supercar had begun in the mid-1980s - design proceeding mainly in the project team's spare time! - and finally bore fruit when the prototype was exhibited at the UK Motor Show in October 1988, only four months after Jaguar had claimed its sixth victory at the Le Mans 24-Hour Race. Clothed in aluminium bodywork, the beautiful XJ220 was styled by Keith Helfet and featured an upswept tail, deeply scalloped side air intakes, and flush headlight covers that dropped down into the nose to reveal the fixed lenses behind. So favourable was the reception that the order book was soon oversubscribed, Jaguar having taken around 1,500 deposits of £50,000 each. Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR), Jaguar's collaborator in its endurance racing programme, was entrusted with the XJ220's development and construction.<br />
<br />
The XJ220 survived Jaguar's take-over by Ford the following year, but when it eventually entered production in 1992 was a very different beast. Gone was the prototype's 6.2-litre V12 engine, replaced by a more powerful Cosworth-designed, 3.5-litre, twin-turbo V6 as used in the XJR-11 sports-racer, while other casualties of the need to simplify the design for production included the prototype's four-wheel drive and adaptive suspension. Producing no less than 542bhp, this stupendous engine enabled the XJ220 to meet its 200mph-plus design target<br />
<br />
With the rev limit raised and catalytic converters removed, the XJ220 held the record for the world's fastest production car between 1992 and 1998, with a run of 217.1mph at the Nardò Ring in Italy. With the emissions equipment fitted, 212mph was recorded with F1 driver Martin Brundle behind the wheel. The 0-100mph time was staggering 7.9 seconds!<br />
<br />
This car is believed to be number '283' of only 285 XJ220s built, including prototypes. Inside, there are Connolly leather-trimmed sport seats; a Nardi steering wheel; air conditioning; electric windows; and electrically operated and heated door mirrors. Famously, the XJ220's dashboard curves around into the driver's door where there are four smaller dials: clock, ammeter, boost gauge, and gearbox oil temperature. A fixed glass roof floods the cabin with light. An Alpine stereo is fitted, along with an Alpine CD autochanger. The wheels are Speedline Corse alloys: 17" front, 18" rear.<br />
<br />
The car has had two owners in total, the last being a collector in Germany. Accompanying the car is a complete and original book pack, including, service book, German registration documents and full original booklet from factory also including the original toolbox pack; the centre-lock wheel nut removal tool; spare bulb kit; original first aid kit; and a warning triangle.<br />
<br />
There is no known bodywork damage; indeed, the Le Mans Blue paintwork is believed to be original throughout and it remains in generally superb order, though with some minor stone chips to the front splitter. The Sand Beige coloured seats believed to be original. No electrical faults have been detected, and all switches and buttons work as they should.</p>
