 Jaguar customers attempting to withdraw from their contracted purchases were given the option to buy themselves out of their contracts , but by 1995 , the issue had resulted in legal action as buyers claimed the specification changes rendered any contracts void . Jaguar produced evidence clearly demonstrating that the vehicle specification shown in the contract matched the vehicle that was delivered , and the presiding judge , John Donaldson , quickly ruled in Jaguar 's favour . The last of the unsold XJ220s were sold for £ 127 @,@ 550 plus VAT in 1997 . While never officially approved for sale in the United States , the XJ220 was approved under the Show and Display exemption by 2001 .
