Did Anyone Lose A Jaguar XJ220?

This is gonna hurt!  I saw this article on Topspeed.com about a poor Jaguar XJ220 found abandoned in the Qatari desert.

According to the reports the car was originally sold in Dubai, and last seen six years ago in Beirut, Lebanon.  It was found abandoned with only 900kms on the clock.  Once the rarest car on earth, this poor car was just discarded like an empty beer car.

At the time this car was introduced it was worth 650,000.00 and was a 200mph supercar.  This car is finished in Lemans Blue under sand and would still bring in an easy quarter million.  Seeing it abandoned makes you wonder why this guy ever purchased a car like this to begin with.  Can you imagine this car in Beirut, Lebanon?  I think my next trip is going to be the Qatari desert…with a metal detector.
