This is just pure nostalgia. The style of production and presentation is still the best in the business. I miss the OG Top Gear, as long as we have these, it’s never totally gone 👌

ah man i missed this, everyone always loved the tours and specials of Top Gear but this is what i miss... Car review but with soul and excellent production value, BRAVO!

I have missed these kinds of car review like vids. Top Gear, whether Hammond, May, or Clarkson, always did a wonderful job. Wish there were still more of these.

For a stroll down cancellation street before veering off on to the grass verge. We know how that ends!

I absolutely love builds like this. Some people throw the baby out with the bathwater sometimes, and by the time they are done with their build, the car they have doesn't even resemble the car they started with. This is the perfect way to build a car. It's not changing it. It's making everything better.

The sound of the car is unbelievable

This is why Richard is one the best at what he does

That supercharger's sound 😮🤩🤝

Am sorry but Richard hammond always brings a tear too my eye he always does an amazing car justice love live hammond long live drive tribe and the smallest cog

Supercharger noises everytime my car gets argumentative 5krpm+ roots noises remind me why I love the bloody thing

2:05 "Baggier than your grandmas... Sofa" - not gonna lie, I was expecting something else

Probably the best sounding XKR I’ve ever heard, sounds just like a Terminator Cobra

It's Sunday evening. Richard Hammond is on the TV driving an old Jaaaaag....... Like old times.

3:06 thats his best analogy ever and i resonate with that feeling

I fell in love with this car so much when it was featured, I was actually motivated to buy a 4.2 XKR in blue and have it as my daily driver. I drove it to the DriveTribe meet last year and had an epic day. However sadly whilst on my way home from the gym in November I aquaplaned at about 60 mph onto the grass verge on a B road about 2 miles from my house and went head on into a tree. Luckily nobody was injured besides my lovely Jaaagg. I hope whoever buys this car loves and enjoys it as much as I loved mine.

I loved the XJ8 VDP. So incredibly quiet inside, which I love.

This is amazing. I do love this Drivetribe content.

ever since Die Another Day i've been in love with XKR. my fave Jag. id so bid on that if i could cos damn that is a beautiful machine

This is the car content I need. I love this generation of XK and the one that came after even more, I always wished they had a proper manual. A dream realized, for sure. Even XJs of that era were so charming, I’d have loved one with a manual. Closest we got was an S Type with a stick.

Love the chanel❤, you All put a smile in a normal dull subjekt og teknik and carspeckts.

Love this old format videos. What a lovely manual XKR. Their should be more conversions out there on the roads.

If I had six figures to spend, I'd buy a dozen or more Jag XK's and send them all off to the Jag race shop that did this conversion, and have them do it again to a few more cars. So glad that Hammond likes it. I firmly believe that this is the absolute best Jag XK in the whole world. We need many more people working hard to keep the classic manual transmission alive. Thanks.

Man I got goosebumps in the first 30s seconds... i dunno why...the last grand tour... the title of the video... his way of talking

Some things are just art that only lives in our memories as the best thing there was

I would love these occasional drives from all 3 of them.

Love this car Richard! By the looks of it pretty useable too! Great post!

Richard Hammond, the man who owns the smallest cog.

Great looks and a fine exhaust note!

This is like it was in top gear love the reviews and yes still the best reviewer 💪💪

Lovely sound and supercharger whine, a very nicely sorted car there... Loved my XKR when I had it, don't miss the rust though! Manual conversion was always a bit of a dream. Would have been even more interesting to make it a sequential shifter like a Touring car! Also love my CTEK chargers, going to look into the garage version for my XJ!

Brilliant piece.

Kudos, this reminds me a Jeremy's Vantage V12 sendoff from TG

Absolutely fell in love with this car playing Gran Turismo 4 as a kid. Had no idea that it was never mass produced for the manual variation.

@zachdebuhr6347

A smaller sc pulley would ruin the engine. The eaton unit on these is very inefficient and adds a ton of heat at higher rpms, only way to really get more power out of the aj27s is to get a twin screw SC and swap it in

Never owned a Jaaaaag, but I'd love to have that as my first... Only problem is, the steering wheel is on the incorrect side. That and I'm in Australia.

It's also very cool to see Alex collaborating with DriveTribe! He always said he wanted to be a Top Gear presenter in the early days! Dreams certainly come true with work, people! :))

Miss my father's 98 xj8. I remember the car actually purring. Not a play on words even if the car was named something other than a Jaguar I would still described it as purring an occasionally he would let me shift which was really fun
