I bought a Auto 3.4 Mk 2 Jag in 1973 off a dealer in Rotherham for £250 ,in British racing green . Just got a new Mrs. and I bought the car to impress
her after a flurry of small family cars apart from a Triumph tr 2 which was a 1952/3 & a 1959 Rover 90 ,I bought for £50 . Run the Jag for 4 years
,going to the cars & motorcycle shows in London and holidays in it ,super comfortable and quick ,but not good on petrol for a lad in his 20s . The head gasket went and I bought a Wolseley 6110 3 litre off the local funeral directors ,so the Jag ended - up on the local dump ,keys in the ignition & hood ornement still on the bonnet - I just walked away and left it . The reg. would be worth a small fortune now ,kids eh ! .
Who in there right mind takes a gorgeous Jag like that, that just needs some TLC to bring it back to its original condition. But instead ruins it making it southing false.
A money grubbing weasel devoid of morals, conscience or any sense of decency, a psychopath.
Another fine old survivor rooted over and made to look a Tootsie Toy.
Better to let it rot away? Not these! They are just too cool.
The old Wheeler Dealers was a sweet show
I think not , watch the episode on buying a Rover P6 3500 S and see what complete rubbish he spouts forth . Saying that you can buy a nice example for £ 300 doh
Let’s get a grip here ..... Brewers a twat full stop and Ed China was the mastermind.....let Brewer sell Ford Focus’s and keep off the TV
Yeah, especially the episode where they trowelled a Mini Cooper full of filler and sold it as a "restored" car...
I love Jaguars. Whenever you drive one there is this adventure of wondering will I get to where I want to go before the electrics fail. Or the oil leaks out all over the road. Every time you drive one it’s a mystery trip. Great fun. Especially if you carry a tool box with you
Louvred bonnet = sheep in wolf's clothing. Black bumpers make it look like someone's had a go at hiding rust for a few quid. Keep the classic car guy and let Drew stick to furniture etc.
Quite. Makes one uncomfortable watching his plebeian antics and constant references to 'a bit of profit'. A bit like China's ex partner, but more naive. Yuk.
Lets hope he reads all the coments.
He will have wire wheels on it next and yes you see them on the on the 3.8.
Brilliant, would love to see the finished product.
Sounds like a kid under the hood hitting the bongos!!!
I"ve had 3 of these.... First place I'd check... Rear frame rails ? where the oil leaks from motor can"t reach to protect it !
Drew Pratchards lack of knowledge is superbly showcased in this (and every other) episode of this series. Stick to furniture.
Drew Has No Clue about cars, Someone should Cut his Furniture up, ( the Mega Rare Stuff ) The other Guy is a Clown. CUT the Bonnet !!! LOWER it,
What are they silly 20 yr Olds ? SILLY GIRLS !!
@@A1DJPaul Totally correct. Where did they get this guy from? He knows next to nothing about cars.
i know I am pretty randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream new series online ?
@Rocky Junior lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Baylor Benson Yea, I have been using flixzone for since march myself =)
He's right about the Ferrais made in the 70's. The Jag is fantastic.
F348 = Late 80's early 90's The common Ferrari's of the 70's were the 308's like Magnum PI's. Stunning & mucho dinaro.
My neighbour had a lovely blue 3.8, had it for 15 years but unfortunately it was stolen last year! He was devastated!
But it's not a Mk II, it's a late 240 or 340 with ambla-interior instead of leather and the late bumpers from the S-Type
I'm not an expert on the Mk2 but even I know that you are absolutely correct! Could a 420G reasonably be considered a Mark X?
@@Ampex196 no it can’t .. the Daimler is different in many ways
Good ol fashioned so cal interior. Burnt to a crisp lol
The headlining on those old jags are the easiest of all cars to replace ,the seats look mint already as for the french polishing not hard to do either
Love the banter betwixt the two blokes. Love the car and wish I had the cash to buy one. Champagne lifestyle on a beer budget...just like most of the world today.
The Mk II was one of their better-looking designs. I remember as a kid how I fancied one. Or an E-type.
Brilliant , this is as good as Classic Car Rescue ( I will get my coat now )
This car is Awesome - Wish I could say the same about this series & drew!!!
CLOWN SHOW. HIGHLY offensive to ANY classic owner.
@@A1DJPaul Too true.
It's only a small thing, but Drew was driving this (or might have been a mini) after finishing it, and kept banging on about how detail was everything - "The Devil's in the detail" whilst at the same time holding a steering wheel in which all the flat-head screws were higgledy piggledy and not lined up with each other. Anyone obsessed with detail simply cannot look at non-aligned screw heads. I know. Ergo - he's a fraud - it's just telly.
Besides, it's a later model, a cheaper 340 (or even just a 240?) with the not so nice bumpers, so less a crime to turn it into a mock-up Coombs with the wrong engine. As you say - it's telly.....
It's of course a later model, a cheaper 340 (or even just a 240?) with the not so nice bumpers, so less a crime to turn it into a mock-up Coombs with the wrong engine....
Love this car had one when living in Wiltshire the twin tanks used to spook me as the other quirky thing was the small tap like release on the right side of the engine to drain off oil you had to check that tap regularly to see if it was closed otherwise?..smooth as butter but had to have my buddy chip in for petrol when we did London looking back don't know how we did it!?
Ah now I remember him , has a furniture place in North Wales . little twat
Car seller looks like a younger Ron Atkinson
There's a Mk 2 parked under a carport in Varosha Cyprus under an inch of dust since 1974. Been there since then, abandoned after UN partitioned Cyprus.
Graeme Williams
Is there a video on RUclips showing it?
Yes. It's titled, "Jaguar Mk 2 & 2 Minis abandoned in Cyprus"
This one is interesting too:
"The ghost car park where hundreds of vintage cars have lain abandoned since the 1970's" They all belonged to Turkish Cypriots.
I'm a Jag guy down under. Hate to see that Mk 2 just sitting there.
Graeme Williams
Thanks for bothering to reply! I'll check it out
4:50 - 20% return. Drew's onto something and he's like a Pit Bull when he smells profit. Cleaning and polishing cars just enough to make them good to sell on.
My dad bought an S type 3.8 for 300 quid. didn't do a thing to it then drove to Germany, Northern Italy, and just ventured into the Swiss alps. The dramatic inclines really tested the brakes, but it did still cope.
The S-type was by far a better car and can still be bought cheaper than the MkII.
Haggling ? That's the way to do it - Drew - ye' winner , winner chicken effin' dinner !
He slipped up there, should have got Ed China, the Guy helping him is just too nice and normal lol
For those who understand proper motor engineering this is television comedy.
Mr Pritchard clearly suffers from 'Little Man Syndrome'!
LEAVE IT ORIGINAL,
BUY A WRECK to Modify.
You are being really cruel when plainly he is suffering from the Dunning Kruger effect.
@@johncrosley1 Thank you John. I needed to look that one up. I like it ... and can't help but agree with your interesting diagnosis.
I recall Mr Pritchard saying; "....this is where the little guy sits" when refering to a projectionist. It was clearly intended as a 'put down' of a job that HE sees as menial and insignificant - such is his complete lack of knowledge.
The late, Great Richard Attenborough was noted for recognising the true value of the (traditional) film projectionist as the last in the chain of presenting his work on the big screen. Poor screen presentation of a film that possibly cost £ many millions can totally ruin the viewing experience.
Being cruel to anyone is not in my nature - your remark is accepted as tongue in cheek.
Just to see through the cinema projectionist's viewing ports Mr Pritchard would probably need to stand on two volumes of Funk & Wagnalls.
something of the night about drew! Brrrrr.
Briddy Hll yehhhh no nice... Not nice
Has Drew given up on antiques for this season? I haven't found the full eps yet, & all the clips on YT are about cars.
Give me a shot interior over body cancer any day. The insides normally get replaced anyway
When a car is this good you would restore it back to factory. But I guess Drew is catering for those with more money than taste of which there are many
"Too good to be true". How true! The car is NOT a Mk2 Jaguar - it's either a 240 or 340. Please get your facts right, if nothing else. I certainly wouldn't rely on any of you to buy a car for me.
Probably bought it without seeing the logbook / V5. They didn't know what they bought, BUT It was Green & Had a JAG Badge on it.
Crap Colour. They came in Far Better Colours.
it is not a MK2, it is a late 1967 or 68 340, based on the thin S type bumpers. The MK2 would have the voluminous large bumpers.
Quite right.
Not popular in the US because they were not really common,but a very sweet classic British car. I’d love to own one!
I have one for sale if u want one...
Drews a bellend
Of the very highest order Paul.
It isn't a MK2. After 1967, the model was cheapened and called the Jaguar 240 or 340. The clues are the ICI Ambla (vinyl) seats, horn griiles instead of foglamps, plastic top roll on the dash, thinner bumpers and a lot less wood. Same mechanics but not the same quality and finish as a MKII. Surprised the 'experts' didn't know that.
Jag mk 2's are classic motors, for genuine car enthusiasts, think you should stick to your fancy lights and table lamps.
240/340 series, not a Mk 2. It's being pedantic, I know, but there are differences, mainly in minor cost-cutting by Jaguar... Thin bumpers, non-leather seats etc.
COURSE ITS A MK 2 IS IT NOT SAME BODY SHELL FFS
The Daimler's got the same body shell too, but it's not a Mark II......
YES BUT ITS GOT A DIAMLER BADGE FFS 240 340 HAS A JAGUAR BADGE
I am not a Jaguar expert, but this car has 'S' type bumpers, not Mk2 bumpers and I see that John Sullivan has already pointed this out below.
If it were a Mk2 it surely would have fetched at least £10,000 more than drew paid for it.
My father bought a brand new 3.4 Mk2 in 1965 EUY355C I even remember the number plate and I still have the original tool kit from it. The Mk2 , like my dads had much larger bumpers and I thought the narrow bumpers were for the 2.4 version or was it the later 240/340 as a cost saving exercise but I may be wrong. I can remember going to the garage before it was registered just to smell the cream leather and look at the metallic maroon bodywork. It had a heated rear window one of the first cars at the time. Exhausts were very expensive and the engine had to be dropped to change a clutch which meant the front suspension off. Very expensive to maintain and 18 to the gallon if you were lucky and using overdrive. Magnificent engine and I drove it on Pendine Sands and for its day it was quick once it got going. I think , but may not be correct , that this is the small engined 2.4 as it had no fog lamps but couldn't see the exhaust to be sure. Dont agree with the changes they were talking about. A close friend had the Daimler 2.5 version. More rare but I would go for the Jag every time. Sadly it was traded in for a new bright yellow Vauxhall Ventora! The Jag needed a new clutch and exhaust system and we got the princely sum of £220. if only we had left it in the garage.
The MkII also had these bumpers from 1967 onwards. They were cheaper and called a 240 or 340, depending on the engine size. This is such a later (and cheaper) car.
When is a Mk2 not a Mk2 - when it is one like this one; a cheaper variant 240 / 340 with skinny bumpers and vinyl interior, no fog lights etc.
WOT IS IT THEN IF NOT MK 2 IDIOT
@@tanglewood777 You obviously know sfa about cars, let alone Mk2 Jaguars. Wouldn't surprise me if you thought it was a Ford Anglia!
@@brimkathstampex2306 i own one dikhead
240s are going for 20 k in a 1 condition nice quick car has the strait port etype head on them 133 bhp in the 60s was quick to a Cortina with about 40 bhp I know wot I would choose
MK11 my first car . Xmas present when I was 16 so we where the same age .
Bellissime AUTO D EPOCA ..😍😍
them bonnet straps suck
Yep drew is 100% correct about the ferrari, it is just a common cheapo runaround it is not a patch on the Jaguar
Sorry to interrupt! My elderly aunt has a large collection of Motor Sports magazine dating back to 1943. They were collected and lovingly kept in very good condition by her late husband who was an engineer and a car enthusiast. She doesn't want to keep them as she's looking to downsize her home. She's giving them away for free to anyone who's willing to pick them up at her home (she lives in north London), sending them via post is not practical as they are quite heavy and she's not able to manage it. It would make her day knowing the magazines go to someone who will appreciate it as much as her late husband. She also has a classic Volvo (1960's model) she'll be looking to sell in the near future. If anyone is interested, please send me a message. Cheers!
Hi Salmah. I`m in north London & collect automobilia, including car magazines, so I`m interested. I may even be interested in the Volvo. Not sure how to send you a message though? Regards.
Hiya, have sent you an email about the magazines. Not sure if it's easier to message via email or here on RUclips.
Hi, It had gone into my Junkmail folder for some reason, sorry, but I just replied. Many thanks.
Hello there, Just to let you know that we are back if you're still interested in picking up the magazines and take a look at the Volvo. When would you like to come?
Pair of knobs. Tarting up rust buckets, sod all servicing
its a 340 not a mk2 / i like the coombes bonnet vents & d type wheels & wheel arches but i do not like the bumpers on the 340 & certainly not like painted black bumpers / ps drew is a bit to full of his own ego ......
COURSE ITS A MK 2 JAG FFS SAME BODYSHELL XK ENGINE WOTS NOT MK 2 ABOUT IT ITS JUST NOT GOT LEATHEAR OR BIG BUMPERS LATER JAGS WER BETTER THAN EARLY ONES
Most definitely a Mk 2.no fins on rear wings .
That’s a 340 !
we love the show in oz
Not surprised!
Always been my favourite car, untill my 1998 2.5 TDI Range Rover with the BMW engine. I love that Jag. BUT I would love to buy the moggie 100 estate that was next to it in the garage.
Not a Mk 2, it's a 240 or 340 built after Jaguar were taken over by BMC (Later British Leyland) lots of stuff was cheapened by BMC, thinner bumpers, vinyl seats instead of leather, and lots of other small changes which degraded a beautiful car.
Spot on, Neil.
EXACTLY...! Clearly, Mr Pritchard never attended Jaguar Mk2 school. Mind you, later cars did have very posh 'vinyl'. I seem to recall it was called 'Ambla'.
Haha. First, this is not a mk2, it's a 340 or, worse, a 240(Ambla seats, thin bumpers etc.) Still a classic, though. Next, this is a total staged situation. If indeed it runs well, and is almost rust free, only a moron would let this go in 2018 for less than 25K.
Wot I fort. Looks more like the Daimler/Jag thingy with those bumpers. The whole rear body and window were different too.
THIS IS A 240 or a
340,, NOT a Mk. 2.
Look at the thin bumpers, you can tell.!!
Exactly. Dead easy.
Timber😲 try exotic burl wood mate!
Good,bad,indifferent or awful this is just going over old ground thats been covered so many times it gets boring.I watched wheeler dealers years back and the difference was with Ed China you got some mechanical instruction.This one shows somebody upholstering a seat or a fancy expensive paint job and that is your lot.The cars being restored never change.Its your usual Mk 2 jag,mini,stag or landie.Time somebody found a new concept to this type of show as its all been done a thousand times b4.Ps Mike Brewer was annoying but this ginger gnome takes it to a whole new level.
Didnt he get barred from all the pubs in his hometown for fighting?
IT is not a Mk2!!!! look at the front bumper, this is a 340.
do you only mess with RHD ?
1:44 - taps the sills "...looks brilliant..."
Yes folks, there is absolutely no need whatsoever to actually get UNDERNEATH the car and spend at least twenty minuites with a torch and a screwdriver carefully examining the suspension hangers, chassis rails etc etc etc.
Especially on an old Jag...
......and the guy the supposedly bought it from was...a used car dealer, a secies who of course are well known for generously letting stock go for half their market value.
Lost his Marbles by selling that car.
It’s not a mk2 it’s a post 67’ Jaguar 240 .. with auto box and 5 stud wheels.. bank robber cars were generally the 3.8 MK2 pre 1967
I've got say , this is car you can run someone down , because you have jag
It’s not a mk2 but a 240
Exactly
On top wing mirrors too, so much easier to see behind than door mirrors any day, do MK 2s had overdrives as standard or where they optional like the MK1 models? at least the MK1 was Brilliant to drive in the dry in the wet even with Dunlop sp41 tyres expensive good but very short life still you'd loose the back so easy expensive spare parts not the most reliable But if i could i would still buy one tomorrow even with the very unreliable overdrive
Methinks this is a mk2 as S type has different back end in appearance
It was a Jaguar 240 - the later, desperate slightly upgraded Mk 2. What they did to it attracted the right buyer and they made a profit, fine but there's something about small men....
Looking at all the comments below I get the feeling that Drew isnt liked much!!!!!
I had one of these in the early 70s cost me £500 sold it for £150 bloody ell, wish I had it now!
It's a 340 ....but Drew's ruined it by painting the bumpers black .a cheap fix
348 is a bathtub that says it all about testicle head
To replace the headlining carpets and wooden furniture would be a kings ransome . The leather upholstery would be priceless to restore . and then to put non standard bits on it like louvered bonnet would be the first thing anybody would take off again. as for rechroming the bumpers .....forget it . HSE have put paid to all the rechromers in this country and the only thing to do is to have stainless ones made in Vietnam albeit at an exhorbitant cost. Stick to the antique armchairs Drew
I come form the Black Country and there are still platers that chrome as its not just used on cars.
What about the 'crows feet' ??
this show doesnt work .drew should go and live with mike brewer ,they could spend all day talking shit . bring back edd or fuzz or ants any day ..or wayne correeni.. drew wouldnt know a straight car from a repaired rite off ...
Really well put mate
Not Fuzz ffs
As long as Tim shaw don't come into it. Please please not that idiot.
should have had wider wire wheels chrome bumpers no straps , as for car sos I THINK THEY GOT CONNED ON THE ASTON IF REAL AT ALL back to drew because I think that I know the red mercedes 280 se 3.5 thats coming up
this is sick drew hasnt got a clue he should move in with tin shaw ,this is two blokes trying to make it work and it doesnt ,wayne corrini would knock them both out .they wouldnt know a cut and shut or a ringer if i showed them ,this is like loui spence or dale winton ,talking about body building ,..
Mk 2 became 240 and 340 in 1967. This is not a Mk 2! Single bumpers are an obvious clue.
Finally, an honest opinion of Ferrari. Drove one recently, panel gaps like a cheap shed.
Ferrari, Look Crap & drive even worse.
finchy from the office voice
I'm enjoying another chance to see this very programme at the moment.
When the host offers just 10 grand for it why doesn't the owner say that you're a television programme financed by all those adverts so you don't need to make any sort of 'profit'?
A DREW PIACE il colore VERDE .. Lo sceglie sempre 👍🙌
If the car is as good as claimed they are fools not to do a full restoration over resto-modding it for the quick-quid.
Glad I didn't have to watch them cutting into this 340. Jerx.!
Liked the antique show better, especially the one where he got a fake masterpiece stuck right up his arse at an auction and went bankrupt.
Stick to finding old junk and selling it for loads,He aint a clue about cars and wheeler dealers isnt much better 😂
Stecozz what's wrong with ed
@@KKTR3 edd left cos wheelers dealers lost the plot...plus brewers a knobend
@@shadfaquir4873 Mike did if he did all the good selling but at many times he did a poor job selling so that Edd did all the work for peanuts "we are in the money" with a 500 pound profit after 50 hours of labour. That happened not a few but many times.
@@markvanderwel7182 Its all for tv. Its like that bid twat shaw on car sos. Or as he days. Car sausage. That says it all about the idiot. I could smack him a look at him.
Mark van der Wel ring ring smell the coffee man , all that side is make believe
Do you really think what they made was Eddies butter for his bread 'unbelievable'
Jaaaaaaaaaaggggg
Flirting outrageously with the waitress all night in front of his wife. But its OK because he has a jaaag.
(Jeremy clarkson voice) Jaaaaaaaag!
classic monaco gp on tv and the guest presenter was drew (wtf)
i bet that gavin with the tattoes the restorer, hes a nice guy .has knocked him round the carpark a few times ,none off his staff liked him his misses did one in the end with the dogs ,and the credit cards .
I owned a '58' Jag, brillant car & fast for it's day.
Tell it as it is wide boys out to make a profit. Nothing wrong with that ( but don"t do it under the guise of salvage hunters, like they are looking out for our heritage)
HERITAGE DESTROYERS. 2 nutcases out on a MAD DAY OUT.
Cringe. Evidently, and sadly, being another plebeian second-hand dealer, more focused on money than creativity, Drew knows absolutely Sweet Fanny Adams about cars, especially Jaguars Mk2's or, also evidently, how to drive or restore them.
A very disappointing series, especially when the likes of Fuzz Townsend on Car SOS do it so much better.
Obviously his search for antiques and scrap has come to an end, and whoever thought another classic car series would be advisable, were wrong.
Its very poorly made.
Peter Lewis
You're so right him and this series are shite
Car SOS. The only thing that spoils that is that tall big shit Tim Shaw. He is so full of himself.
Drew couldn’t act the Bolix
It's no Mk2, it's a 240
I like the programme for the cars. But no way do car dealers drop prices that quick for Drew. With Classics its a dealers market. The buyer pays through the nose.
It will be a TOTAL SET UP. TV is ALL 100% Set up Fake.
They might call it reality television but there's nothing real about it. It's all well-rehearsed including the prices.
It's a 340. Stick to buying and selling junk m8 LOL
Drew goes into ikea and says, "its a lovely lovely piece, this is why we do what we do...I`ll give you £950 for the chair ? ".....`But its only a poang billybob fibreboard cheapy £39.99 aisle 8 says the rather attractive tight trousered, yellow jumpered female assistant......" Get the van `T` they`ve got dozens of `em" ....
HA HA - Brilliant!
Is it a 340 if so it's shyte, 240 & 340 were terrible .
The slaphead got a deal I'd made him pay 12k!The seller was too easy probably pre arranged not many dealers drop 2.5k....
This is rubbish the guy selling it for that price is mad but what bugs me the most is all of our old cars are full of rust at that age mostly down to salt on our roads but if you live in parts of the US you can pick up a almost rust free car/truck for between 3k and 6k I remember back in the 1960s buying cars only three years old with rust holes in them.
3 year old with rust !!!!.
Most were rusting on the show room floor.
ALFA SUD. Rusting away before it even got to the dealer.
