Raleigh Choppers & Jaguar X type and some unexpected extra benefits of ownership
Great video but was a rough ride 😊
Hope you saw the Breakfast Club's X Type anniversary video! ruclips.net/video/IawdhOq0PU0/видео.htmlsi=nr7iiKcpBYbJdgeE
@@MovesLikeJaguar yes it was great to see the maligned x type given a higher profile on this video
cool bike i have an early 1969 orange one in full original condition like this one, also with that plastick spokeguard. I always wondered if it is original, thanks for the info!
As a rule, I try not to let a man with latex gloves get behind me.
@@T3glider haha good advice I lived to tell the tale 😂
I had one back in the 70's and loved it. Darker blue than this one and if I remember it right, a 1500cc engine with floor change..
Great video, just used your method to clean the spark plug from the lawnmower, worked a treat, cheers.
MGB GT not designed by the British its a Pininfarina design
Pininfarina worked for BMC cars at the time Italian style on a British built model We should have conquered the world !! Thanks for pointing this out
At 5' 6" it would probably fit me fine.
Most cars are over priced.
Yes there is a price correction currently
as an owner of one, make sure you check and make sure water does not touch the tcm and check behind the front wheel well where water with cuase serious problems !!!!
Thanks for the advice much appreciated and will pay particular attention to this area of my car
Great video Iconic Brands once again! Love the jag. But i was wondering something, as i am going to drive in a years time and i was thinking of getting a jaguar x type or s type as my first car. I know its a bit bold and far reacting but its a car that i love and my dad had a jag for a while and i loved it! but is it good as my first car? Or should i go for something else because i am a big jag fan and classic car fan too! thank you. and great video!👍
Purely subjective , however you sound like you have a lot of desire to own one of these cars As a first car for you maybe ? I’ve heard insurance levels are lower for younger people do your homework and why not but not if you’re looking for economic as the v6 isn’t cheap to run but is to buy at the moment Good luck
Oh yes I need my cup of tea, and I don’t fancy paying that much for it.
@@johnorchin8567 At some events they have outside catering which is ok , however when they do not it becomes very very expensive Thanks for your comment
Another great video Mr iconic brands well done 😊
I love all Jags and Landrovers, had plenty of the latter and just purchased a Jag XF sportbrake, simply amazing car. Prefer it to all the German stuff.
They are addictive !!
As others have pointed out the vintage car market is heading the same way as model engineering clubs, the scrapheap of society
Sadly all to true engineering has always been considered a second class hobby and pastime in the U.K.
Polish workers, after two years of being employed here, took the same number of days off sick as British workers. This disproved the notion, you regularly hear, that they are hardworking. Why would they be?
Totally agree 👍 no better no worse thanks for sharing your thoughts
What car is in the video a boxer? What year?
Hi it’s an 06 boxster
Typical E type snob,extension of his tiny willy!
I remember back in the day, I thought my Orange Mk1 Chopper was the dogs. ....until I was given my brother's 5 speed Puch Alpine racer, wow, what a revelation... then spent most of my time waiting around for mates still on their boat anchor Choppers and TM Trackers.😊 I always thought the TM Tracker was a better overall bike...lighter (relatively!) better brakes until it rained on steel rims, and a seat suspension that actually worked to a point, but the Chopper won on looks. We all know they were both poor bikes dynamically, but the romance factor can't be argued. Great video, thanks for the upload. 😎
Thanks for sharing your story and experience everyone has their own perspective on what a bike should be and this is part of the fun
You have a lovely mk. 1. Mine got binned in a clear out after I left home ,but it was a bit rusty so fair enough but still rankles a bit. Thanks for the info.
@@ridbanner1407 glad to help thanks for watching
fantastic mate

Damn man.. invest in a Mic and film away from running water and barking dogs. Almost unwatchable smh

Just had my Fizzy Lemon delivered, waited 50 years to own one
Quality still makes the money.
Looks great, we’ll give it a go. Thanks
I believe Derek is incorrect in his statement saying “British workers are lazy”. Toyota, Honda & Nissan all have or had assembly plants here in the UK and the quality leaving those factories is comparable with any plant in the world. If you take the workers out of the equation that leaves two things: 1 Lack of investment 2 Poor management The German automotive manufactures work closely with their unions and include them in high level decision making. Not the ‘us and them’ mentality in the UK.
Derek is certainly outdated but the fact as far as I’m aware he’s never worked on an assembly plant shop floor it’s very hard work both physically and mentally Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Think Derek is a Joke, he would be skint if he didn't sell British Classic cars ! Where would we be if the British Workers didn't build the Spitfires & Lancasters ? Jaguar use the same Castle Bromwich Factory. I have been a Mechanic for 44 years and British cars are the best bar none ! You can stick your German cars where the monkey sticks its nuts.
not sure how that's controversial...
Controversial If you agree with Dereks views on the work shy British ?
X Type Future Classic !! I dont think so
Subjective
A Great Video, I just got the 2024 Chopper Delivered, I thought Fizzy Lemon might be too bright on my eyes, So I went for the Space Blue version. I managed to just get the sale thru before the website crashed out on the 1st release. I did log back in again on the 2nd batch to try for the Fizzy Lemon for a gift, as it said you could have one of each colour per customer, but, I ended up in such a big queue, I fell asleep, then the website refreshed. So I am not sure, if I even made it in the 2nd queue or not & it then timed out. I do wonder how many were produced, but, Raleigh are not saying. My First Queue order was 1760 approx, so is that a random number or part of the volume. I did notice quite a lot have appeared on Ebay for a bit of a profit. It would be interesting to know how many were sold thou, as we may spot a few out and about. It is also profit for Raleigh, so what do we think 2,500 of each colour or less were produced for 2024 ?. Anyone with insider knowledge that can share how many were sold for 2024 ?.
The last batch of bikes was 1000 of each colour, not sure this time around will have to delve !!
@@IconicBrands123 - I think it may have been the same, the order numbers for the Blue was in the 1000+, I bought a Blue one, I did see there was some Yellow ones left on the following morning with no queue for them, I could have got another one in Yellow, but, I left it, then they all sold out a few hours later on the following day of the 2nd date release. I see a few people have listed them on Ebay, trying to get a profit, I will probably keep mine, I am tempted to convert it to electric with a Bafang 250watt motor on it, for more fun.
Hopefully the Quality Control is working better this time around Have fun with your Raleigh’s
@@IconicBrands123 - The Build Quality seemed very good on it. I don't know how Alan managed on it, I am 6 Foot, but, I seem to have long legs. I put the seat height to the max and I tried to ride it and was really struggling without a lot of discomfort & pain trying to do a few metres on it. I ride often on my other cycles & I need a lot of leg distance. I was going to keep it & ride it now & again, but, most likely I will probably sell it on to someone that wants one & can ride it like it should be used. I also bought some spare new wheels complete & a rear tyre & wing mirrors, to go with it. I will be selling it at near cost price to me with the extras & no silly profits, if anyone wants a 2024 Model in Blue, a few miles South of Croydon, I have one for sale. With some Spare Brand New Wheels & Extras & less than 200 Metres test ridden on it. It sill looks mint out of the box.
Great to meet up with you and Linda in Whitby, Russ. Next year put a motor on your chopper and ride with us.
May have to. !!!! 😂
Marvellous you do it proud xxx
You can tell he is British because he keeps saying 'Yeh'.........................
I want a car from my youth. I can get a 20 year old ford fiesta ST for not a lot xx
I've got 2006 X-Type 2.0D and I'm renovating it (some things require it). I will keep him as a backup car no matter what. What an awesome car.
Good info but also remember to say "Do not depress the clutch but ensure the the gears are in neutral until the car has started".
I had the pleasure of walking into a breaker's yard when working in the UK in 1984. "I don't suppose you would have an overdrive gearbox for an MGB Mk I ?" I said. "Sure", he replied. "There's two sitting on the floor over there" he said. "Help yourself to one." Things were a little less happy when I drained the oil prior to shipping it home, and a whole lot of metal filings drained out in the oil. But a gearbox and overdrive rebuild prior to fitting it, (and one more since after about another 140,000 miles), and the wrecker's yard gearbox and overdrive is still providing excellent service in my now 250,000 mile MGB.
Great account thanks for sharing
@@IconicBrands123With our vast distances in this country, I never understood the logic of selling MGB's without even the option of overdrive available from 1963 to 1968, when "the penny" must have finally "dropped". I quite often travelled 600 miles in a day when touring. I used to drop the car into neutral and coast on longer downhill sections, just to give my ears a break.
The laycock Overdrive is a must !! My mk1 has it
When I was 18yo (in 2002), the x-type was the very first Jag I drove (it was a 2.5 petrol). I really liked it, it was the very best car I got on at such time... It felt to me like a nice quality thing. Now I have an XKR x150 Convertible and an XJR x356... And I still like the X-types. I wouldn't mind to have one as a daily driver. Sometimes I think to give one to my wife as present, she loves them because she thinks the XKR and the XJR are too big for her.
@@efradiesel my thoughts exactly I prefer the more compact jags
Absolutely ridiculously over priced
All sold !
Horrible bike the Mark 3. I would stick to the Mark 1, we never had that type of accidents you mentioned in the days.
The mk 3 was poorly constructed with cheap materials
MRK 4. Want one! ❤️
Dear Sir, do you think that Raleigh will continue to make the chopper considering its popularity? For example, would they bring out the black Prismatic again??
Exactly the same here. I could have killed for a mark 1 at 11 years old when they came out but my father didn't buy me one. I think that you should start a club for deprived boomer chopper children. I bought my first Raliegh Chopper, a mark 4 in ultra violet at 64 years old last year. Very sad and the neighbours think it is very strange but who cares what anybody else thinks. They just don't understand. Johhny Seven next maybe, rather more expensive than the £4 19s and 6d they used to be in the early 60's 😢.
It’s the nostalgia that drives the market and I still want a Johnny 7 😂
@IconicBrands123 when you get one it will be an episode worth watching. I still remember the spoilt only child who got one in our street, when every body else didn't. Paul Wilkinson., I'll name names lol.
X type is a classic car 😊😊👌
That blue S type was a R which is supercharged with all the toy s:)
Should have turned the water off you twat
RALEIGH announcement in 2023..."We’re relaunching one of the most iconic bikes of all time: the Raleigh Chopper. Back in all its original glory, this Limited-Edition 2023" is almost an exact replica of the old-school Chopper MK2 - from the U-shaped handlebars down to the chunky rear wheel". Now they are releasing "Limited Edition edition 2024". Both the same bike.
Thanks for this. Alan’s a big fella and dwarfs it a bit. Now I just have to hope I get lucky and get my Fizzy Lemon.🍋
So how are these to cruise around on for normal daily use? I’m on the list for the 2024 Fizzy Lemon model and I don’t think I’ll be able to resist.
Normal daily use. ? Depends on how you intend to use it for? Not recommended for hills or anything above a few miles because these bikes are heavy
