It looks pretty, but it was never a big success. People were expecting a V-12 when they placed orders and Jaguar put a turbo V-6 in it. The wheels are ugly and the jag emblem is missing from the steering wheel. I'd rather have a Carrera GT. It does get bonus points for the rareness. As for sale in the US, it was never sold here. There was a loop hole show exemption put in a couple of years ago and the first car to get the approval was a british racing green XJ-220 that resides in Muncie, IN. Autoweek did a profile on the car and the exemption. Last I heard there were people trying to get the Porsche 959 exempted as well.
