Wow, Tedward...this is like driving automotive history. I'm assuming you had people breaking necks all over the place. Even living in California, I don't remember ever seeing one of these in person. Thanks for another great video!
It’s not “like driving automotive history”. This is in fact Tedward “driving automotive history”. As this is a classic car my good friend.
@@EndeavorsDnB Technically you can’t drive “automotive history”, as it’s a concept rather than a object, let alone a drivable one.
So, with that in mind, I’d say that my good friend Andre here is correct in saying it was like such, as though driving the Jaguar would deliver the ambiance of what that that historical period had to offer.
There is just something so glamorous about driving these old Jags, they've got so much presence on the road.
I worked as a mechanic, part time/freelance, in a shop for which Jaguars were a personal favorite and specialty. The owner was extremely knowledgable about them and built a couple of amazing special, high-performance examples for his own use. His last was an E-type based on a 1964 roadster that was without doubt one of the most amazing sports cars I've ever had the pleasure to drive. With the help of the state police, we had the opportunity to do a top end run with it and were clocked at over 200 mph, and still slowly climbing, with a three mile wide open run. That car was so special, driving it bore almost no relation to the 1966 E-type roadster I owned, or to this lovely '64 in your video. Even the stock E-Types are amazing automobiles and a delight to drive. The Moss gearbox does take a little bit of practice but after a short time you can shift it as fast as the later fully synchronized box, the engine is a delight whether 3.8L or 4.2L (the 3.8s feel nicer when revved hard, the 4.2s are torquier). Many many good memories of these cars.
What an incredible experience driving literally a piece of art. Simply breathtaking.
One of my friends has a 1969 E-Type that I love it drive (when it’s actually running). I knew these were fast cars, but the first time I drove it I couldn’t believe the pull of that 6 cylinder when you stood on it.
I'm realising more and more how the 50s and 60s euro sports cars have so much to offer in terms of design and simple dynamics. The interiors always seem so classy compared to modern " make it to cost " plastic designs with 6 screens etc.
I had a 1964 XKE Roadster and loved it but this is the most beautifully restored XKE I’ve ever seen. Some may say it was”over” restored but I disagree. I think whoever restored it just decided to enhance its original beauty.
Unbelievable for 60 yr old car. The most beautiful, timeless design. It runs like a new car…I appreciate the ride…thanks
Love how you've had two vehicles with triple wipers featured this week! Also, today I learned that "knock off" wheels doesn't always mean replicas
Knock off wheels are called that because you would knock off the center piece to remove the rim from the hub
Hats off (and then quickly back on) to Tedward for driving this top-down when there is clearly still snow on the ground.
I’ve been so lucky and proud to own my ‘68 E type OTS (convertible) for 21 years. All numbers matched, She’s modified to ‘68 “Euro spec” with OEM triple SU carbs, covered headlights (what a process that was) and dozens of little special tweaks throughout the years. Mine is OEM signal red with biscuit interior. The ‘68 improved upon the earlier Series 1 models with a fabulous synchronized gear box, much better cooling, much more comfortable seats. It sadly lost the wonderful dash switchgear as it moved to rocker switches in late ‘67. Thanks to US DOT regulators. My E Type is the love of my life ( don’t tell my wife). This was a marvelous video. It has inspired me to spend the morning out on the open road blowing out the cobwebs after a long cold and wet winter in “ sunny “ San Diego. Thanks!
My friend had such a car. A non synchronized 1. gear with the singing noise is tolerable on a Ford A model from the 1930es, but not on such a luxury car. The motor overheats being driven at slow and high speed. He had to repair the motor, the gearbox and the rear axle. The electric system was a catastrophy. He sold the bloody thing and bought a Porsche which he drove until he died. The car is still existing and driven regularly without problems.
UNFORTUNATELY, some would have the audacity to say character, others a lack of fixes & refinement.
You put a modern five speed and put a aluminum radiator and problem sovled
Old cars just seems so prestiges
Werds R hard
@@sniperyuout187 this guy 😂
Old cars seem what? I think you don't know how to spell. Prestigious. Please don't contribute to the comments if you are so illiterate.
Prestigious
Prestiges? Like in call of duty? I grinded two in a day back when I could still tolerate those games
Hey, that video brings back so many memories. In the mid 80's when I was just 18 and had my drivers licence for just half a year, a good friend of mine owned such a series 1 E-Type Roadster in triple black. Here in Germany. So I showed up every second week to wash his car and make some side money with it. What a great way to make money! But the best thing was, he had the trust to let me drive this thing! And I will never ever forget the feeling once you pushed that starter button. I don't have so much contact to the guy anymore but I know that he still owns this E-Type. Since 1981! Thanks for showing me again what it felt like to drive an E-Type Series 1 with the top down.
I agree completely, over 60 years old and still the most beautiful sports car ever. I would LOVE to drive one but never have.
The shot at 0:19 goes so hard. The lighting is perfect, the jet black car contrasting with the white tires and the hood lifted up just barely showing off the engine bay looks really cool.
I need a full resolution image of that cos that's desktop wallpaper material
These Jags have a personality all their own, certainly not for everyone but it is a BEAUTIFUL DESIGN and has a terrific exhaust note…
I always love your old Jaguar videos because of that beautiful inline 6 sound. The XK series is one of the greatest automotive families.
My father and I have a collection together and we’re lucky enough to have a 4.2 XKE roadster. It is genuinely one of the best cars you can drive. Everything is perfect and you don’t find yourself asking for more, regardless of whether you’re cruising or driving hard on a backroad.
I definitely prefer the transmission in the 4.2 cars!
4.2 series 2 is the bastard son of the series 1. Fat and wallowy for the US market. Only the series 1 is pure.
These are like unicorns here in the States, I had the pleasure of seeing an E-Type when I visited the UK a few years back.....drop dead gorgeous car, and sounds heavenly.
The S1 E Type surprised me so much the first time I drove one. The engine is so smooth and sounds amazing, and the steering and shifter feel much more modern. One of my favorite classic cars to drive
Watching this on my phone and I can hear how amazingly smooth this work of art sounds!!
1:25 Lucas: A gentleman does not motor about after dark!
Timeless E-type's, get better looking with age, series 1 are the most desirable, all are fabulous works of art.
lovely drive, and nice to see an American driver who know how to use a manual stick shift properly which is using the gear stick as a shifter and not as a hand rest while driving along!! Change gear, then two hands immediately back on the steering wheel , an E type is a car you really need to grab a hold of with both hands, I compliment you sir on your driving style, you handle the car very well.
Appreciated Chris!
Great car. I knew a Businessman at the club I used to go to having a 1967 Jaguar Hardtop E type. He always dressed in a suit even on the warmer days. Quite striking when you saw the light yellow Jaguar coming down the street. You know how sometimes the car matches the driver perfectly - this was a perfect example.
I really appreciate the sane, civilized way you do these. Thanks.
People who took care of restoring that thing did such a good job, from what you've shown us the car looks absolutely perfect both inside and outside. I'm in love with the red leather interior paired with that gorgeous black paint decorated with chrome elements and white sidewalls, the engine bay looks just as pretty. It is such a joy to watch it being driven around, thank you so much for this video to accompany my Sunday coffee
I had a 63 E in 68 when I traded a 66 Norton motorcycle plus a little money for it at a dealership in So. Cal. $2300 total. Imagine that. Loved driving it but always repairing it. I got to be pretty good at rebuilding the engine. I had it out three times due to a cracked block between 5 -6 cylinders. I finally got a good engine block got it running good and sold it. Sure wish I had it back now.
the view over that hood is absolutely amazing
I've driven two of these Series 1s. One a resto-modded coupe, the other a numbers matching roadster. It's such a joy to run that straight six up and pull the stick through the gears. Great vid.
Have two '61 drop head E-Types. One is partially resto-mod with 1" wider wheel and tires. The brakes have stainless inserts to fight rust typically found on early E-type brakes. Also, an after market all-aluminium radiator cured most of my overheating issues. When driving with an early 'Moss box', learning to double-clutch to shift is mandatory! With a little practice you can do pleasingly smooth shifts, and it's a lot more fun than syncromesh gearboxes. On rare occasions I start both Jags up at the same time- sounds just like a PT boat warming up before combat!
I have a numbers matching 63 drop head E-Type and found the all-aluminum radiator is what I needed for summer driving in South Carolina.
One of the most sensational cars ever built.
What a beauty. The 60s was the pinnacle of automotive design IMO.
this is what love at first sight looks like 😍
Oh my god what a devastatingly beautiful car. You’re so lucky to get to drive such classics! My dad had one just like this in the 60s but sadly didn’t hang onto it.
Still the best looking car ever, in my opinion.
Agreed! Also the SEXIEST!!
Qualify above: most beautiful and sexiest PRODUCTION automobiles….
Dude, forget car, that might just be one of the most beautiful objects I have ever seen.
I love old Jaguars. True exotic cars.
I remember these in the 70s & 80s . I do remember one having a 12 cylinder. these were hard to get parts for if I remember correctly.
Beautiful! I had no ideas these sound so nice. Thanks for the video
Gotta love that sound. Thanks for the experience!
That is a very fine and beautiful example of the most beautiful car in the world.
3:55 That is one the most beautiful engines I've ever seen!
A 1964 vehicle with a push to start button, what an amazing machine, and those straight-cut gears sound so good with that beautiful straight 6 note
Form follows function and clearly it shows here, what a jewel. I always wanted a 66’ racing green E-type ✌️🇺🇸
This is a beautiful car! Love the white walls! might have to add this to my list of dream cars.
Never been a Jag fan, but loving this video. This car truly is beautiful, and the engine sounds amazing. The narrow lane and the stone wall at 11:30 remind me of the time when a family friend took me for a ride in her 1960ish 2.5l V8 Daimler in England when I was a kid.
That generation of Jags never gets old...or ugly. Gorgeous car, great video!!
I don't think its the most beautiful car but certainly in the top 10. It is automotive art.
This was a smooth riding and incredibly stable car, something that's hard to show on video. Several friends owned them back in when they were new. (One XKE convertible was a graduation gift to a homely daughter, is was used as bait to get her married off....the ploy worked!)
To drive the most beautiful car is a very small part of the experience! One of the greatest views I've ever seen was looking over that hood from the drivers seat. I was lucky enough to spend several thousand miles driving my Dads 69 XKE when I was 16 to 18 years old. It was the late 70s. He bought it for $3800 in 77 with 60 thousand miles on it. The incredible joy of the mechanical bliss experienced in this car is unbeatable and I've driven a bunch of cars! That engine was pure music and doing power slides in these was a real hoot with that long wheelbase.
Oh.....what a masterpiece! It's one of the most wonderful cars in the history of cars! Thank you mister Malcom Sawyer for it's design!
A guy near me owns a beautirul one, BRG/tan, and it's always a treat to see it at the supermarket, lugging groceries!
I remember the first time I saw one as a young teenager, appropriately at Saratoga NY. Of course at the racetrack. Never forgot it.
I traded cars for a day with a friend and hers was a '64 E type, it was a real treat in 1975. Like many British cars of its day, the electronics were weak.
I was 17 in 64 and used to have vivid dreams about the Etype. 60 years later it's still a wow. Pity I never managed to drive one.
I am disappointed that you did not wear a tweed jacket while driving this car Tedward. that should be mandatory
Who doesn't love the Moss 1st gear whine!
I’m going stir crazy waiting for classic car season. Thanks for this content.
Wow, what a winning color combo! I think the inset wheels look goofy and they make for a turning circle the size of a battleship.
Beautiful looking car. Thanks for the drive. I've always loved the Jaguar XK-E. I particularly love the earlier (Series 1) models.
Came here for the great sounds and beauty of the E-Type, but was surprised by the sound of that F-Pace. Awesome video!
The most beautiful car in the world :) It is pristine. How thin the front wheels are is surprising.
" e type 4.2 is really fast over a quarter mile ahead of it's time !" " iconic work of art !" ( if i win powerball i want one !" To drive down roads in the country driving past 🚜 farms with cows and 🐎 horses " what a cruiser !
I grew up in the suburbs of San Diego, La Mesa, and we had a neighbor, an older man, Mr. Mayo, who had one of these and yes it was also black.
It was the tip top of the baby boom years, and there were kids everywhere on our street riding skateboards, throwing frisbees, footballs, baseballs, riding go carts....but everything on our street -- every kid, every activity -- stopped cold whenever Mr. Mayo would drive by.
Somebody would call out "MR. MAYO!!!!" and we would stop everything we were doing and just stand still to admire his beautiful car....He would wave, and we would wave back.
Thank you for driving all these dream cars for us!
It's nearly 60 years old , yet sooooo desirable ,
They new exactly what they were doing RESPECT
Breathtaking car.
Wow, what a sound - especially from the SVR.
Damn it's Gorgeous. This is why Enzo said it was the most beautiful car ever built. High praise
Gorgeous car! Thanks for the great look!
I owned a 62 FHC for 33 years. So many stories. I did everything in that car. (if you know what I mean) I wrenched on it consistently and loved doing it.
Engine sounds and car looks are top notch, thanks a lot for sharing!
The whitewall tires are not my preference, but I just love this car. The young drummer in a group whose records I produced was gifted a Series 1 when his father passed away, far too young. We spent hours in his garage admiring that beauty. I’ve lost touch with him but I’m sure he has restored it, so important a family heirloom it was for him. The series 1 had a different look to the 1A and later, primarily due to the more upright rake of the windshield. What a driving machine the E type was at the time, one of the fastest cars money could buy and, at that, very reasonable $.
Wow, I wouldn't have thought that it would look so sexy in black. The red leather fits really nicely. And the sound is just chef's kiss. ❤
In my opinion, this and the 300 SL W 198 are the two most beautiful cars ever made. Such masterpieces. Thanks for the video!
Tedward knows so much about cars man I’m impressed 👌🏻
Rolling sculpture ... stunning.
Love these classics! The 55-57 Jag's were cool too.
An absolutely stunning car, Enzo certainly had it right. I think the colors on this car are perfect. If I could have any car, modern or classic, this would be at the very top of my list.
I had a 64 OTS just like that one back in 1969. I kept it for 5 years and sold it when I bought a Datsun 240Z. I still have a 70 OTS but rarely drive it. I do remember seeing about 140 mph on the speedo on the 64 a time or too but then I was in my early 20's and foolish. My daily driver is now a Tesla.
As a Tr-250 owner, that is one sweet ride...
Thank you for this video! Wonderful car and a sound to die for. Back when you KNEW you were in charge of the vehicle!
Every word is a complete injustice…
Apart from…..AWESOME 😍😍😍😍
Goodness, the whitewalls are a bit over the top!
The series 1. The best looking E type. Jaguar definitely knew how to make cars that looked a million dollars.
Really enjoyed this, thank you. Having driven one, this actually gives a reasonable idea of what a good one is like. Would have been nice to hear more about the feel of the handling and the car overall, but loved this nonetheless
What a perfect piece of art. Enzo Ferrari declared it to be the most beautiful car ever designed. And that’s good enough for me. If I was ever fortunate enough to win a ( large) lotto , I would spend a fortune to get one of these just right for me. And my life would be grand.
This car is a work of art. It is as precious for me as the Mona Lisa painting. Wish Jaguar would build such a car again with a bit of modern technology. Not much.
This is one of your best videos!! thanks
MAN, that is a SWEET ride!
I had one, a coupe, back in the late 70s, and three decades before, my father had an XK150.
Thanks, this was so much fun to see.
Just an absolutely gorgeous car. This is the exact year and livery/spec I have been looking for and will be going to check out if it’s still for sale. Breathtaking for sure and I actually love those wide white walls. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
I totally agree with Mr. Ferrari...the most beautiful sports car in the world! Thank you from Stevenward.
That interior is gorgeous
OMG! That is one beautiful E!!!
Beautiful car! Us Brit's knew how to make nice cars back then. It reminds me of my old Z8 with so many similarities.
The engine looks like a mini Spitfire Merlin👌👌👌
Had a '63, beautiful roadster!
