This was such a fantastic video! Watching Richard and Neil geeking out on a particular mechanical component of an iconic car is a proper car nerd's joy. And I can't help but feel extremely happy for Richard! While the other two have moved on to other stuff, Hammond has stayed loyal to the cars and is doing what he loves, which is working on cars and buying the cars he loves (though I still hate that he sold his Esprit Sport 350). Are you listening DriveTribe? More of this (and less of the scripted skits) please!

How could you not smile while watching this, listing to 2 car enthusiasts enjoying the engineering of one of the worlds most beautiful vehicles

I very much agree with you on the XKE’s brilliant IRS, Richard. It wouldn’t “feel” like an XKE without it. We American Hot Rodders latched on to it because it was so easy to literally bolt into place. Everything was already done…suspension geometry, shocks and springs, differential gears, brakes, axles…all in one package. Brilliant stuff! I’m looking forward to watching the restoration!

Richard, I hope you help Neil finish his Ford after the Jag. It's nice to know you're staying true to the original Jag, keeping the essence of what makes them so special. Keep us updated, please,

The series 1 '62 coupe is THE most beautiful car to ever exist. My ultimate dream car

Testament to how stylish this car is, is the fact that a car launched in 1961 is still the best looking car on the road.

Should do Neil's car for him

Awesome show. Was lucky enough to work on many E-Types, and lots of other Jags from 120's up. My favourite car of all time.

The Smell of Connally Leather is enough reason to buy a Jaguar. The Styling and performance just makes everyone envious.

Wow, your take and love for Jaguar really shines through in your detailed storytelling! It's clear you appreciate the engineering marvel these machines are. Can't wait to see the restoration. Your passion is truly inspiring to fellow Jaguar enthusiasts like myself. Keep it up and can't wait to follow this "skunk works" project!

I loved my S type that had the same IRS. Although bigger than the mkII it seemed much more nimble and hugged the corners on the old winding Welsh roads really well.

Nice video folks. I still remember in 78/79 when I got to drive a 62 e-type ( I was 13!) My dads friend was going thru a divorce and was hiding it in our garage. The battery died and I could drive a stick (thanks Dad!). They pushed and I dumped the clutch to start it but "couldn't stop fast and keep it running" (my story). Got to go around the block in it but they both pulled me out as soon as I got back to the house.... wow what a car.

Series 1 , 3.8 straight 6. One of the best ever cars to restore. i love the opalescent colours too. Excited to watch it progress

I love seeing the old-school of cool classics getting passionately restored great work guys , and the engineering of the IRS is pure engineering genius 👏

The E type really is the most gorgeous design ever. Congrats Richard. I cannot wait to see the blue E type in all of it's glory.

This is absolutely the best, purest form of car talk there is! Bravo!

"Ugly lump of genius" - That is an epic saying. You can probably put that on a t-shirt and some mugs and easily sell it!

Even though I've never owned a Jaguar, I've become a Jag man like Hammond. I never really knew about them since I am young and from the USA. I like the new F-Types but I would also love to own a 70s model XJ Coupe which I understand to be relatively rare. The E-Types are beautiful as well! The British Racing Green is the only color I would own a Jag in.

I know you've got the show but I'd love to see a series on this cars resto.

I learned to drive a manual transmission on a right hand drive Jaguar XK120 an uncle bought back from England in the early 50s. Learning to shift an American manual after that was a treat! Great collection, Mr Hammond!

Back in 1971 I bought a 1960 ex race car E Type Jag with original 3.8 crash 5 speed gear box . It had a peddle back system on the Front Brakes ... I swapped it three years late for a new Kawasaki Z1 900 ... The Kawasaki lasted 30 days before I dropped it on an "S" bend .... Buying the E Type was a present for not being "Called Up " for a tour of Vietnam at the age of 19 ...

I'm no way a car enthusiast but i recently bought a 2010 Jaguar XF Portfolio and have to say the best car by far i have ever owned, so i see Richard's enthusiasm , even the raised bonnet is the same, but i get excited every time i sit in the thing, just beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished Jag.

Richard, I love this show, please don't stop.

Nice. Jag IRS is actually the first thing I think of with the E type (even with it being one of the most beautiful car ever made). Probably because I am an American hot rodder. I think the dark Opalescent Blue is crying out for a light tan interior to go with it, just my opinion.

I’m having Hammond pick my Lottery numbers. He’s got to be the Luckiest Man alive. Survived all of those Crashes, gets his Unicorn Car dropped in his lap, doesn’t get murdered by Clarkson and May, what more proof do you need?😉

Don't see many Jags in my area, and I don't really follow what they're doing. But a few months ago I saw a brand new F-Type in a parking lot, and that's enough to make anyone a Jaguar person. Gorgeous cars.

Beautiful cars and in the hands of a man who should have them. I'm a Jag man here in the colonies (North Carolina), and had several XJ-S's, all V-12's. When I retire in a year or so, I'd like to find a straight six example to drive around our lovely Carolina mountains. I really enjoyed the emphasis on the excellent engineering of the rear assembly. Nicely done Richard.

Just two chaps having a yarn about old jags in the shed. EPIC!

Started appreciating in price just before I turned 17 and prices have always been that little bit out of reach, ever since. Well out of my budget now! Do have Dad’s Series 3 in the garage but it needs a lot of work. Al least I have a Jaguar to admire, even if it is not drivable.

Yes! I as just thinking Neil was looking very good in this episode!

This is more like the content we need in the show- all that contrived stuff with the accountant and the golf course was excruciating.

I think I may be a Jag man, I picked up a 1982 Vanden Plas during the pandemic for $500, turns out to of been owned by Michael J Fox, then recently I bought a 1990 black XJS V12 in immaculate condition but with head gasket failure. I was in the process of tearing down the V12 and got injured trying to get one of my other cars to run. It has been three months since that and I am slowly getting back into my hobby. At first I was not too crazy about the engineering of Jaguars as I had learned repairing American vehicles, I did though appreciate the quality of British built machines. I have learned to totally appreciate Jaguars now.

I could watch and listen to these two gentlemen talk for hours, the passion is palpable.

This is one of those videos that should be incredibly boring, yet very quickly becomes absolutely fascinating. Mostly down to the knowledge, enthusiasm and personality of both Richard and Neil.

Neil looks in great shape seems like he lost some weight.

When I graduated college in 1970 in Las Vegas, I took a job in LA. Whenever I was driving the 300 miles between the two in my Healy 3000, E-types would blow past me -- repeatedly. The Healy could hit 90 before the out-of-balance wire wheels would vibrate violently. But even at 90 the E-types had 20 mph or more on me.

Their passion is so captivating!

I love Jaguars; especially the Etype convertible; I had 1000 cars and that is the one I truly love. Sold it too cheap.

Nice episode. For us USA types, we came to see this as the compliment to the C2 Corvette IRS. Both pretty powerful cars with similar loading into the center sections 🙃

E-Types are just stunning.

I didn't fully appreciate the jag irs system when I was learning to spanner on rusty old jags but as a seasoned tech now I adore the design its a masterpiece of engineering 👌

I remember the 62, as a kid I had a neighbour working on one. I remember the long bonnet on it. Yes I got to help him on it.

In 1980’s Australia, the very top custom Holdens and Fords had Jag rear ends. Most of us could only dream about that - Expensive. In the 90’s my dad bought a used Sovereign, (with a 4 bolt 350). Then I got to see/feel what the fuss was about - I was amazed that such a big and comfortable car could handle so well.
