Just a little tip for cars with a handbrake- if you pull the lever and let the ratchets click, it wears them just a little every time you do it. Especially on older cars, if you hold in the button you use to release the handbrake as you’re pulling it, and then release the button and settle the lever onto the ratchet, it saves it from wearing and becoming liable to ‘jump’. Could save on trying to find rare parts or, worse, your classic rolling away and causing an expensive problem somewhere!

@@TheNecromancer6666 The 6 cyl E Types in Europe were all manual, I think. When the V12 E Type came out, Jaguar didn't have a manual box that would handle the torque, so they started out as all automatics, Europe and USA. Later on they got a manual box that would handle the torque, but most V12 E Types were going to the USA, so they were automatic. Manuals are very rare, but they are lovely to drive.

When it just has the engine noise the autocaptions just say “music”- and it’s not wrong.

My cousin bought a '70 Series 2 Coupe new, then added a '71 Series 3 Roadster the next year to his stable. Both 4 speeds. He drove those E-types flat out most of the time. Fun times.

Due to watching an E-Type Jag vid, many have popped up in my KZread algorithm. However this is easily the best I have seen so far, at showing what it's like driving an original E-Type.

Why doesn't Jaguar just remake this model with current tech? It was a big hit then and would be again. Retro XKE. Makes me smile

My 1974 Triumph Spitfire had the same exterior paint color and interior color. She was a beauty.

these were the times when each manufacturer had a real identity and made cars like they wanted to.

This 1000%, it can’t be understated. All the makes not only looked different, they smelled differently, and certainly drove differently. Nothing like today.

That back seat is so trick, never seen it demonstrated before!

I have so little exposure to these kinds of cars, love seeing them even though I don’t know a whole lot about them! What a good day for a drive and it’s hilarious you ran into Will haha

That cabin is stunning!!!

She was a super car in 1971 and still is!

In the mid 60s I bought a 63 E and had it for about 5 years then sold it. I had to learn how to rebuild the complete engine due to several problems mainly a cracked block between 5-6 cyl. I finally got another engine and replaced the block and then while it was running good I then sold it. Now not to really comparing to different cars but I now have a miata and it being a small sports car it brings back lots of fine memories. I like the look from inside down the hood with the center bulge for the dual overhead cam engine just like the Jaguar. It's the best I can do considering the cost of a Jag. For the money the miata is a great little car with the removable hard top.

Now THIS is an interesting car.

What a amazing classic and that v12 is the cherry on TOP

That's a nice Jag-war. The shape and pushed back cabin reminds me of the Ferrari FF

I won't lie, i kinda hoped that tom would floor it but i understand that the car is way to valuable for that, i just wanted to hear that beautiful v12

For me the E-Type is the icon of the icons (greetings from Germany)

My friends dad owned one (he sold it 3 years ago) E-type V12 but with manual gearbox! It was tuned and was straight piped and with plenty of performance parts... It sounded so f**ing great and drove so well! So much fun to drive it! But the nose that V12 can produce with a straight piped exhaust (incl manifolds) is just magic!

It’s a superb example. Indeed a Jaaaag....the favourite getaway cars of the genteel rogues....

We have a duty as humanity to preserve these cars forever.

Americans don't realise how lucky they are almost all these cars went straight from Coventry to the states in LHD!

Mmmm a little tedward with my coffee in the morning, what a day maker! Couldn't imagine a world without you man ❤

My Dad is 78 this year and still has his 73 V12 convertible in British racing green he brought from new , last time i checked he only had 34 thousand miles on it! plus all the typical Jag issues are fully sorted!

Perfect time for the E-Type's 60th Birthday on March 15th this year!

That thing is so immensely cool!

Very nicely presented! I really enjoyed that walk-around!

British roads weren't crummy in the 1960's

This is so antique and so cool at the same time

The same engine with the manual transmission makes it a totally different experience. The V12 Jaguar engine is a short stroke big bore design that really likes to rev but the automatic gearbox means most of the time it is just not possible to really get up into the powerband of the motor. You will notice the redline on the tach is at 6500rpm. The auto trans just sucks all of the life out of the engine since it mostly forces the driver to lug around at 2500 - 3000 rpm.The XJS cars were even worse since they came with a TH400 auto trans and a 2.88 rear diff ratio. This car at least has the 3.54, 3.31 or 3.07 diff so it's slightly better.

Having grown up in the 70’s I don’t think UK roads at that time were bad at all. Motorways arrived in the 1950’s. My dad worked for Jaguar for 40 years at Browns Lane factory in Coventry. He was a technical author, he wrote the car instruction manuals :).

Great video and such an amazing car. Ding dong!

This. This is my dream car. My goal in life is to own one of these. This is my purpose.

Had a 74 convertible same color combo. Scored 97.5 at concourse events. Could only drive the “Cat” in the fall or early spring due to amplifier over heating on hot summer days. Real head turner and enjoyed it for 15 years.

I prefer the convertible, awesome

Go look at ‘The racers who stopped the World’ video about Jaguar’s pioneering work with disc brakes. This company just nailed performance, beauty, ride and handling back in the day. And a tiny company too. One day I hope to own a proper Jaaag but until then, I’ll sit back and revel in this video. Great sound btw!

Beautiful car! 🤩 And Harold and Maude is also one of my all time favourites too, such an amazing movie. In fact I always dreamt about making a conversion like Harold's, inevitably not the right thing to do... so got my hands on an MG BGT and one of the last of the Scimitar's instead. Those were a magnificent car if you could get the electronics right.
