wow its 4 wheel vehicle not 2 wheel vehicle

Compliments for the clear approach with background information for your decisions 👏🏻

Master

Reverse engineering, I love it, never seen it done this way before, but that gives you a perfect template

When one sees a craftsman work it always looks easy, but it is not. This effort on the Jag demonstrates such an effort...thank you for sharing one of your skills!

I wish I had known to ask about process when getting a car repainted recently.

Great to see the MK2 again!! More please!

Guess the channel and video's have stopped? It has been a year since this video was uploaded. I am sad to see things like this since I am buying a 1960 Jaguar Mk2 and this build would help a ton. Hope you start posting more.

I watched these video a year ago all 4 of them, what's happened to the car are you still working on it or have you scrapped it?

Powder coat the exhaust manifolds? I don't think so !

What happened to this car?

It’s been over a year with no update. !!

Did you ever finish the project?

You have to love a coombes tricked up Jag, my Grandfather had an e type version which was great until he hit a barrier in it.

Good stuff looking forward to the project going forward... That engine looks really nice...

Why did you start to film a project and then abandon your viewers? Disappointing is the politest word to describe this.

Any more episodes please!

Hoping for a followup on this and other activities at R&R...!

Wow, a Packard in the background. Not what I was expecting

where are you? can you suggest someone who can refinish a set of MK2 veneer interior wood? i’m in baton rouge, louisiana. thx

I think you boys need to be very careful bandying the "Coombs" attribution anywhere near that car because it`s simply not and never will be, "Period upgraded" at best.

Hi , very interested in episode 4please!

Great to see you undertaking this huge project. It will take some time to be sure, but its awesome that you can put a team of mechanics on the various tasks. There will be challenges ahead, as you know. Thanks for putting this up on RUclips !

Its great to see this car being restored to a second life, My father owned a 1963 Mk2, 3.8 Jag even now all these years on i think what a motor, It was a year old when he bought it, and he let me drive it as a 14 year old. WOW ! best regards Sisaket Thailand.

Coombs should be pronounced "combs." John Coombs modified a handful of Mark 2s in the sixties, no more. Some had modified rear wheel arches, with a piece of copper or brass tubing installed in the channel for the spat weatherstrip. The tubing was lead-loaded and painted body color. These cars did not have detachable spats. So-called "Coombs" spats are indeed narrower than the original factory ones but these are a latter-day invention, not used by any of the original Coombs-modified cars. A genuine Coombs Mark 2 is worth a fortune today but they are exceedingly rare. There are many so-called "Coombs spec" cars around today but these often bear little resemblance to the ones actually modified by the Coombs shop back in the sixties.

Please do a whole lot more of these & more regularly, they're very interesting.

'All synchromesh on all 4'!! Judging by the gear knob the gearbox is a Moss so it has a straight cut no synchromesh1st and reverse gear! Do your research! I'm so fed up of so called Jaguar experts in the USA that know nothing about Jags! 😂

Let's not forget that some Mk2s came with the baby 2.4 liter 6. I have a 68 Mk2 240. The joys of right-hand drive and left-hand shift :)

A 61 jag mk 2 had a moss box crash 1st gear not syncro

Can't wait to see how this project progresses as I mentioned before I am rebuilding my own MKII on my channel (jagvette1)

Good episode guys, nice to have a description of what you've done. I think it would be better however, to have been able to watch some of that work taking place. Stripping the car is perhaps a bit boring I agree, but I do hope future episodes will take that format. I realise this would mean more editing work, but it would be more interesting and generate longer episodes. Keep up the good work, I've been looking forward this episode for ages, and now I'm looking forward to the next one.

61 did not have a 4 speed syncro, that was later that one had a non syscro on first I believe. It had a 4 speed Moss box, no syncro on first. Obviously you know the cam covers should not be black.

Just purchased a mk2 will be watching everything from a to z. Thanks 😊

keep the steelies! wires are OTT these days. ...too reminicent of those atrocious looking mid 80's wannabe chrysler wire hubcabs. boo!

Glad to be one of your early subscribers. My Dad had a 59 Mk2 in the Dove Gray, when I was born in 63. It's still a beautiful car.

Interesting project! I'm pretty sure Jaguar also offered a 2.5 Litre variant of the MK2.

Hi Guys... Looking forward to this project. something needs to be done to those door mirrors. The racing jags had the bullet type...GN

I’ve got a ‘63 Mark 2 that’s completely restored so I’ll be interested to watch this and see any differences.

Looking forward to the progress!

Great show. Wonderful quality in presentation.

keep these coming! looking forward to seeing how this project progresses

Not 'High compression cylinder heads' mate, The heads were standard 'B' Type, And straight port on the later 340/240's, It was the pistons that determined the compression ratio, 7:1, 8:1 (Standard) and 9:1, I should know as i've owned 7 MK2's and i know me onions! 😂Cheers.

Excellent! Really looking forward to watching your progress guys. Please, don't spare any of the details and make sure you show us everything you do. Subscribed in anticipation of the next episode.

Great project. I have a ‘61 Mk 2 and I’ll be watching your progress. Best of luck!

This is going to be an exciting project. Great to see a Ragtops channel!

Its a pity the now retired owner of Ragtops and Pollock for years couldn't grasp that restoration essentially is best applied by doing show standard work.

Quite an impressive array of classics! Good luck.

Superbly done indeed, as is the new-look webpage too! Best of luck!
